What great authors spend reams in trying to express, Bollywood often conveys in a single phrase. Sample this........ "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.” -Percy Bysshe Shelley (Ideating on similar lines about how the material world is not quite the real thing, a philosophical Sunny Leone tells us...) "ये दुनिया पित्तल दी " "The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night." – Henry Longfellow "अगर रात को जागना है, तो अभी सो लें" Amitabh, in Sholay “Sometimes I speak to men and women just as a little girl speaks to her doll. She knows, of course, that the doll does not understand her, but she creates for herself the joy of communication through a pleasant and conscious self-deception.” Arthur Schopenhauer "या रब वो न समझे हैं न समझेंगे मेरी बात, दे और दिल उनको जो न दे मुझको ज़ुबाँ और।" Rakesh Bedi to Deepti Naval, in Chashme Baddoor "Helen, thy beauty is to me, Like those Nicéan barks of yore. That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore, To his own native shore." -Edgar Allan Poe "लड़की, हमें अपना दोस्त समझो" 'नारंग' to Zeenat Aman, in Don "To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour." -William Blake "ता थैया ता थैया हो, ता थैया ता थैया हो" Jeetendra, in Himmatwala
