― Bohumil Hrabal, Too Loud a Solitude

“نازلی! بهارخنده زد و ارغوان شکفت
در خانه، زیر پنجره گل داد یاس پیر
دست از گمان بدار!
با مرگ نحس پنجه میفکن!
بودن به از نبود شدن، خاصه در بهار...
نازلی سخن نگفت،
سر افراز
دندان خشم بر جگر خسته بست رفت
***
نازلی ! سخن بگو!
مرغ سکوت، جوجه مرگی فجیع را
در آشیان به بیضه نشسته ست!

نازلی سخن نگفت
چو خورشید
از تیرگی بر آمد و در خون نشست و رفت
***
نازلی سخن نگفت
نازلی ستاره بود:
یک دم درین ظلام درخشید و جست و رفت
نازلی سخن نگفت
نازلی بنفشه بود:
گل داد و
مژده داد: زمستان شکست!
و
رفت...”
― احمد شاملو, هوای تازه

“Keep in mind, hurting people often hurt other people as a result of their own pain. If somebody is rude and inconsiderate, you can almost be certain that they have some unresolved issues inside. They have some major problems, anger, resentment, or some heartache they are trying to cope with or overcome. The last thing they need is for you to make matters worse by responding angrily.”

“God knows your value; He sees your potential. You may not understand everything you are going through right now. But hold your head up high, knowing that God is in control and he has a great plan and purpose for your life. Your dreams may not have turned out exactly as you’d hoped, but the bible says that God’s ways are better and higher than our ways, even when everybody else rejects you, remember, God stands before you with His arms open wide. He always accepts you. He always confirms your value. God sees your two good moves! You are His prized possession. No matter what you go through in life, no matter how many disappointments you suffer, your value in God’s eyes always remains the same. You will always be the apple of His eye. He will never give up on you, so don’t give up on yourself.”
