“برف می بارد
برف می بارد به روی خار و خاراسنگ
كوهها خاموش
دره ها دلتنگ
راه ها چشم انتظار كاروانی با صدای زنگ
بر نمی شد گر ز بام كلبه ها دودی
یا كه سوسوی چراغی گر پیامی مان نمی آورد
رد پا ها گر نمی افتاد روی جاده ها لغزان
ما چه می كردیم در كولاك دل آشفته ی دمسرد؟
آنك آنك كلبه ای روشن
روی تپه، روبروی من
در گشودندم
مهربانی ها نمودندم
زود دانستم كه دور از داستان خشم برف و سوز
در كنار شعله آتش
قصه می گوید برای بچه های خود عمو نوروز
گفته بودم زندگی زیباست
گفته و ناگفته ای بس نكته ها كاینجاست”

“Emotion. It's a lethal weakness of our kind. A sickness that inhibits logic and eventually drives our minds toward the breaking point. It's our kryptonite – our fatal flaw and our saving grace.

After all, emotions make us who we are. They make us capable of love and compassion and selflessness, bring out the best in us.

At the same time, they ruin us. Make us feel hatred and pain and guilt. Cause our muscles to lock, our pulses to spike, our hearts to split in half.

These things called…feelings…could break every single one of us, if we let them.”
― Tiana Dalichov, Simulation 8
