“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“در این سرای بی كسی كسی به در نمی زند
به دشت پر ملال ما پرنده پر نمی زند

یكی زشب گرفتگان چراغ بر نمی كند
كسی به كوچه سار شب در سحر نمی زند

نشسته ام در انتظار این غبار بی سوار
دریغ كز شبی چنین سپیده سر نمی زند

دل خراب من دگر خراب تر نمی شود
كه خنجر غمت از این خراب تر نمی زند

گذر گهی است پر ستم كه اندرو به غیر غم
یكی صلای آشنا به رهگذر نمی زند

چه چشم پاسخ است از این دریچه های بسته ات
برو که هیچ کس ندا به گوش کر نمی زند

نه سایه دارم و نه بر بیفکنندم و سزاست
اگر نه بر درخت تر کسی تبر نمی زند”
― هوشنگ ابتهاج

“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And too often is his gold complexion dimm'd:
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance or natures changing course untrimm'd;
By thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.”
― William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets
