    Mark Ellis
    “Cairo. An inter-services game of cricket was in progress in the lush grounds behind him as Powell made his way through the grand portal of the Gezira Sporting Club. It was a hot and humid day and Powell was dripping with sweat. A fellow officer had given him a lift for part of the way but he had had to walk the last mile. Uniformed Egyptian attendants bowed and guided him through the lobby towards the bar, where he could see his host with a drink already in hand.”

    “Osm – the unicorn with the multi-metal horn tipped with Osmium can do it all! He has the powers of all the metal horn unicorns. Osmium is much rarer than gold, about 1000 times, but it is only worth about ¼ the price because there are so few uses for it.”

    “ 
    The she-wolf visibly recoiled. “You speak with the dead? Then you are truly the one spoken of who has come to save us.” She stood immediately and gave a shrill howl to her pack, all the wolves in the glade sitting up with ears pricked. “I give you Two-heads,” called the she-wolf, “the shaman our elders foretold, he comes to save us from the predations of the men from the sky...”

    “You shall address me as ‘My Dearest’,’ he repeated in a mocking voice, trying to copy her tone. ‘You will forget all about this conversation when you leave this room.’ It was interesting that tone; it had a sort of hypnotising ring to it.”

    Todor Bombov
    “… the primitive comprehension that the state property represents a social one, their identification, and their equalization  could not resist the criticism of the time. The state property is not socialism. The state-monopoly property, as it was on the both sides of the Berlin Wall and which continues to be such one even after it dropped down, is not social property. There was never and nowhere any socialism! In the twentieth century, we passed through a system of utopian socialism as proof that this was not socialism that was not possible, but the utopia of the writers before Marx and after Marx. We were visited by a utopian socialism, which at the contemporary stage is simply capitalism—state, monopolistic.”

    “He used his large shoulders and movements to impose his dominance over others as he strutted around but his facial expressions were a giveaway to people like Maeve who was born into a gritty group of native born fighting Irish. While many saw him as a man who worked his way up to power and influence and attained success that others fail to achieve, she saw him as a sham. He didn’t acquire loyalty by goodwill, but by corruption, fear, and loathing.”

    “There was no going back now. Rubber and metal could only take so much. The car could shatter and send its passengers into an elemental distillation of rock, flesh, blood, and ash. Alchemy, thought Mary, grimly. Too much bloody alchemy.”

    Marjane Satrapi
    “I've never seen or touched anything."
    "Can you explain then how you had children?"
    "You're right. It's true I have four kids. Four! But still I have never seen the male organ. He came into the bedroom, he turned off the light, and then Bam! Bam! Bam! and voila I was pregnant! What's more, I was granted four girls. So I have never seen penises.”

    Jorge Luis Borges
    “مصـراعی سـت از شعـر ورلن
    .که من دیگـر به خاطـر نمـی آورم

    خـیابانی سـت در این نزدیکی
    .که من دیگـر گـذرم به آن نمی افـتـد

    آینـه ای سـت که برای آخـرین بار در من نگریسـته اسـت

    دری سـت که من آن را برای ابد بسـته ام

    در میـان ِ کتـب ِ کتابخـانه ام
    کتـاب هـایی هسـتند که من دیگر هـرگز نخـواهم گشـود

    :تابستان امسـال پنجاه ساله خواهم شد
    ...مـرگ ، بی وقـفـه مرا غـارت می کنـد”

    Ernest Hemingway
    “As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.”
