    Mitch Albom
    “You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too--even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.”

    Khaled Hosseini
    “Theft is the one unforgivable sin, the one common denominator of all sins. When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. There is no act more wretched then stealing.”
    ― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

    محمود دولت‌آبادی
    “حوصله چسناله های دلسوزانه دیگران را ندارم، اگر برایم اهمیت می داشت وصیت می کردم که نمی خواهم هیچ کس و بسا نا کسان دنبال کون تابوتم راه بیفتند، از تصورش خسته و نفرت زده می شوم. اما چه اهمیت دارد، بگذار سالوسی هم خودی نشان بدهد. چندش آور است، اما مگر همین آدم ها در زندگی هم چندش آور نیستند و آدم تحملشان می کند”

    “در سال‌های جوان‌تر و ضعیف‌تر بودنم پدرم به من نصیحتی کرد که از همان موقع در ذهنم می‌چرخد. اینطور گفت که هر وقت می‌خواهی از کسی ایراد بگیری فقط یادت باشد که همه مردم دنیا، شانس و بختی که تو داشتی را نداشتند.
