    Kamand Kojouri
    “Reading poetry is like undressing before a bath. You don't undress out of fear that your clothes will become wet. You undress because you want the water to touch you. You want to completely immerse yourself in the feeling of the water and to emerge anew.”
    ― Kamand Kojouri

    Just like I am now.”
    ― Holly Smale, Geek Girl
