“یک چیز بسیار زیبا وجود دارد. هیچ . به هیچ فکر کن”
― Heinrich Böll

“می گویند فراموشی دفاع طبیعی ِ بدن است در برابر رنج . دردی که نوزاد هنگام عبور از آن دریچه‌ی تنگ ، متحمل می‌شود چنان شدید است که کودک ترجیح می‌دهد رنج زاده شده را برای همیشه از یاد ببرد ...”
― رضا قاسمی / Reza Ghasemi, همنوایی شبانه ارکستر چوبها

“چگونه به برنارد بگویم که مردِ بیابانی همیشه با سایه‌اش زندگی می‌کند . که هرجا می‌رود سایه‌اش را به سمت ِ راستش دارد ، یا چپش. که هرجا می‌رود یا به دنبال سایه‌اش می‌رود یا سایه‌اش را به دنبال می‌کشاند . که تنها یک لحظه ، فقط یک لحظه ، بی‌سایه می‌شود : عدل ِ ظهر ! وقتی تیغ ِ آفتاب درست به فرق ِ سر می‌کوبد .
تازه ، در این لحظه هم تنها نیست . مرد ِ بیابانی تنها ثروتش سای‌ی اوست . می‌نشیند ، با او می‌نشیند . می‌ایستد با او می‌ایستد . صبح که می‌شود عظمت ِ او را امتداد می‌دهد تا مغرب ِ جهان . عصر که می‌شود غروب ِ او را امتداد می‌دهد تا مشرق ِ جهان . چه کسی این‌همه وفادار است ؟ این چنین رفیقی که را تیغ ِ آفتاب که به سر بکوبد رهاش می‌کنی بسوزد ؟ می‌بینی هی مچاله می‌شود در خود . می‌بینی به پات می‌افتد . راه می‌دهی که از زیر ِ ناخن ِ پاها نشت کند در تو . طبیعتت شده که این کمترین کار ِ توست در قبال او . خوب که قالب ِ تنت در تو نشست تیغ ِ آفتاب هزیمت کرده است . پس آرام آرام از زیر ِ ناخن ِ پاها خودش را می‌کشد بیرون . اما اگر نکشید ؟”
― رضا قاسمی / Reza Ghasemi

“ته هر چیز، جایی ست که از آنجا ملکوت ملال آغاز می شود. پیدایی اندیشه ی آخرالزمان اتفاقی نیست. گوهر تجربه ای ست که هر یک از ما هزاران بار در طول زندگی مزه مزه اش می کنیم. تابوها هم لابد علت وجودی شان همین است که به ته خط نرسیم. (چاه بابل، 69)”
― رضا قاسمی

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“I dream. Sometimes I think that's the only right thing to do.”

“Don't feel sorry for yourself. Only assholes do that.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

― Haruki Murakami

“She waited for the train to pass. Then she said, "I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.”
― Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

“Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.”
― Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman: 24 Stories

“Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”
― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“God does not play dice with the universe.”
― Albert Einstein, The Born-Einstein Letters 1916-55

“یک وسیلۀ درمان موقتی وجود دارد، آن اَلکُل است، و یک وسیلۀ درمان قطعی و همیشگی می‌تواند وجود داشته باشد، و آن ماری است. ماری مرا ترک کرده است. دلقکی که به مِی‌خوارگی بیُفتد زودتر از یک شیروانی‌ساز مست سقوط می‌کند.”
― Heinrich Böll, The Clown

“انسان نه قادر به تکرار لحظات است و نه قادر به بیان آن هاست”
― Heinrich Böll, The Clown

“جایی که معیار پرنده
طعم کباب اوست
پرواز
نقش لعاب است
بر کاسه‌های خورش”
― علیرضا روشن, کتابِ نیست

“از لیوان ها
به لیوان , شکسته فکر می کنی
از آدمها
به کسی که از دست داده ای
به کسی که به دست نیاورده ای
همیشه
چیزی که نیست
بهتر است”
― علیرضا روشن

“In fact no one recognizes the happiest moment of their lives as they are living it. It may well be that, in a moment of joy, one might sincerely believe that they are living that golden instant "now," even having lived such a moment before, but whatever they say, in one part of their hearts they still believe in the certainty of a happier moment to come. Because how could anyone, and particularly anyone who is still young, carry on with the belief that everything could only get worse: If a person is happy enough to think he has reached the happiest moment of his life, he will be hopeful enough to believe his future will be just as beautiful, more so.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence

“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”
― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: it's got to be the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”

I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.”
― Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe

“Body cells replace themselves every month. Even at this very moment. Most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.”
― Haruki Murakami, A Wild Sheep Chase

“در خود
به جست وجویی پیگیر
همت نهاده ام
در خود به کاوشم
در خود
... ستمگرانه
من چاه میکنم
من نقب میزنم
من حفر میکنم”
― احمد شاملو
