“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“I don't trust Catholics," I said, "because they take advantage of you."

― Heinrich Böll, The Clown

“دانیال گفت : فرض دوم زنی در کار نیست .
تلویزیون برنامه کودک پخش می کرد . " اگه زنی در کار نباشه ، عشقی هم در کار نیست . شکسپیر و حافظ و رومئو وژولیت و شیرین و فرهاد ول معطل اند . اگه روزی زن ها بخواند از این جا برند ، تقریبا همه ادبیات و سینما و هنر دنیا رو با خودشون باید ببرند . اما اگه قرار باشه مردا برند چی ؟ "
اگه قرار باشه مردها از این دنیا گورشون رو گم کنند و برند بهت قول میدم که هر چی جنگ و کشتار و کثافت کاری های دیگه است رو با خودشون میبرند . دنیا عینهو گوشت خرگوش می مونه . نصف حلال نصف حرام . زن نصفه ی حلال دنیاست . هر چی کثافت کاری و گند کاری هست توی مردهاست . هرکی قبول نداره ورداره آمار رو بخونه . تاریخ رو بخونه . تلویزیون تماشا کنه .”
― مصطفی مستور, استخوان خوک و دست‌های جذامی

“حرف كه مي‌زني
من از هراس طوفان
زل مي‌زنم به ميز
به زيرسيگاري
به خودكار
تا باد مرا نبرد به آسمان.
لبخند كه مي‌زني
من
ـ عين هالوها ـ
زل مي‌زنم به دست‌هات
به ساعت مچي طلايي‌ات
به آستين پيراهن ا‌ت
تا فرو نروم در زمين.

ديشب مادرم گفت تو از ديروز فرورفته‌اي
در كلمه‌اي انگار
در عین
در شين
درقاف
در نقطه‌ها.”
― مصطفی مستور

“It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.
To feel it so like myself, indeed, so brotherly, made me realize that I'd been happy, and that I was happy still. For all to be accomplished, for me to feel less lonely, all that remained to hope was that on the day of my execution there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should greet me with howls of execration.”
― Albert Camus, The Stranger

“I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something reached out and caught me in midair. That something is what I define as love. It is the one thing that can stop a man from falling, powerful enough to negate the laws of gravity.”

― Kurt Vonnegut

“The last thing I ever wanted was to be alive when the three most powerful people on the whole planet would be named Bush, Dick and Colon.”

― Euripides, The Bacchae

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”

“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”

“
قول بده که خواهی آمد
اما هرگز نیا!
اگر بیایی
همه چیز خراب میشود
دیگر نمیتوانم
اینگونه با اشتیاق
به دریا و جاده خیره شوم
من خو کرده ام
به این انتظار
به این پرسه زدن ها
در اسکله و ایستگاه
اگر بیایی
من چشم به راه چه کسی بمانم؟
”
― رسول یونان / Rasul Yunan

دروغ اســت
!!”

“شما که سواد داری ، لیسانس داری ،روزنامه خونی
با بزرگون می شینی،حرف میزنی،همه چی می دونی
شما که کله ت پره،معلّم مردم گنگی
واسه هر چی که می گن جواب داری ، در نمیمونی
بگو از چیه که من،دلم گرفته؟
راه میرم دلم گرفته، میشینم دلم گرفته
گریه می کنم ، می خندم ، پا میشم، دلم گرفته ؟
من خودم آدم بودم ، باد زد و حوای منو برد
سوار اسبی بودم که روز بارونی زمین خورد
عمر من کوه عسل بود ولی افسوس
روزای بد انگشت انگشت اونو لیسید
بعد نشست تاتهشو خورد ....”
― محمد صالح علا
