“روزی ما دوباره كبوترهایمان را پیدا خواهیم كرد
و مهربانی دست زیبایی را خواهد گرفت

روزی كه كمترین سرود
بوسه است
و هر انسان
برای هر انسان
برادری ست
روزی كه دیگر درهای خانه شان را نمی بندند
قفل افسانه ایست
و قلب
برای زندگی بس است

روزی كه معنای هر سخن دوست داشتن است
تا تو به خاطر آخرین حرف دنبال سخن نگردی
روزی كه آهنگ هر حرف، زندگی ست
تا من به خاطر آخرین شعر، رنج جستجوی قافیه نبرم
روزی كه هر حرف ترانه ایست
تا كمترین سرود بوسه باشد

روزی كه تو بیایی، برای همیشه بیایی
و مهربانی با زیبایی یكسان شود
روزی كه ما دوباره برای كبوترهایمان دانه بریزیم ...

و من آنروز را انتظار می كشم
حتی روزی
كه دیگر
نباشم”
― احمد شاملو

― George Eliot

“همه
لرزش دست و دلم
از آن بود که
که عشق
پناهی گردد،
پروازی نه
گریز گاهی گردد.

ای عشق ای عشق
چهره آبیت پیدا نیست
***
و خنکای مرحمی
بر شعله زخمی
نه شور شعله
بر سرمای درون

ای عشق ای عشق
چهره سرخت پیدا نیست.
***
غبار تیره تسکینی
بر حضور ِ وهن
و دنج ِ رهائی
بر گریز حضور.
سیاهی
بر آرامش آبی
و سبزه برگچه
بر ارغوان
ای عشق ای عشق
رنگ آشنایت
پیدا نیست”
― احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamlou

“حسادت زانوهارو خم می کنه و خواب رو از آدم می دزده، و جیگر رو آتیش می زنه و فکر رو از کار میندازه. حسادت آدم رو با زهر سوءظن مسموم می کنه، حیثت و اخلاق آدم رو زیر سوال می بره. خودت رو گول خورده حس می کنی و تبدیل به پلیسی میشی که زندانبان معشوقتی! واسه همین باید همیشه عشق رو مرمت کرد”
― Oriana Fallaci, A Man

“آه …
سهم من اينست
سهم من اينست
سهم من ،
آسمانيست كه آويختن پرده اي آن را از من مي گيرد
سهم من پايين رفتن ا ز يك پله ي متروكست
و به چيزي در پوسيدگي و غربت واصل گشتن
سهم من گردش حزن آلودي در باغ خاطره هاست
و در اندوه صدايي جان دادن كه به من مي گويد :
“دست هايت را
دوست مي دارم ”
دست هايم را در باغچه مي كارم
سبز خواهم شد ،مي دانم ،مي دانم،مي دانم
و پرستوها در گودي انگشتان جوهريم
تخم خواهند گذاشت”
― Forough Farrokhzad

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“انبان حرص را جز آوار
هیچ آذوقه ای پر نمی کند.”
― حسین پناهی, من و نازی

“یک بار عهد بستم و نشکستم
صد بار عهد بستی و بشکستی
دیگر نگویمت که چه ها کردی؟
دیگر نپرسمت که کجا هستی
جام فریب تلخ تو نوشیدم
هوشیاریم مباد از این مستی”
― فریدون مشیری

“Let no one reduce to tears or reproach
This statement of the mastery of God,
Who, with magnificent irony, gave
Me at once both books and night

Of this city of books He pronounced rulers
These lightless eyes, who can only
Peruse in libraries of dreams
The insensible paragraphs that yield

With every new dawn. Vainly does the day
Lavish on them its infinite books,
Arduous as the arduous manuscripts
Which at Alexandria did perish.

Of hunger and thirst (a Greek story tells us)
Dies a king amidst fountains and gardens;
I aimlessly weary at the confines
Of this tall and deep blind library.

Encyclopedias, atlases, the East
And the West, centuries, dynasties
Symbols, cosmos and cosmogonies
Do walls proffer, but pointlessly.

Slow in my shadow, I the hollow shade
Explore with my indecisive cane;
To think I had imagined Paradise
In the form of such a library.

Something, certainly not termed
Fate, rules on such things;
Another had received in blurry
Afternoons both books and shadow.

Wandering through these slow corridors
I often feel with a vague and sacred dread
That I am another, the dead one, who must
Have trodden the same steps at the same time.

Which of the two is now writing this poem
Of a plural I and of a single shadow?
How important is the word that names me
If the anathema is one and indivisible?

Groussac or Borges, I see this darling
World deform and extinguish
To a pale, uncertain ash
Resembling sleep and oblivion”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“رفته بودم دراگ‌استور پاستور
والیوم‌های زیادی خریده بودم
برای تسکین بی‌اعتمادی آدمی
بروفن‌های زیادی خریده بودم

پولم تمام
امیدم تمام
دنبال آرزوی از دست‌رفته‌ای

من عاشق یک دوستت ‌دارم ساده‌ام
توی سینما عصر جدید
و بنگ بنگ ترانه‌ی کیل بیل
توی سینما سپیده

راستی
والیوم‌های زیادی خریده بودم که
میان‌بر از کجا، به کجا بروم؟

حالا در ابتدای این دَوَران تازه
دارم از تو پرت می‌شوم که

ایستاده‌ام این‌جا
هی فکر می‌کنم ـ کاش آدمی وطنش را همچون بنفشه‌ها
می‌شد با خود ببرد، هر کجا که خواست ـ
هی فکر می‌کنم
هی بنفشه می‌کارم
هی راه می‌روم”
― رویا زرین, می‌خواهم بچه‌هایم را قورت بدهم

“we all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. We respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

“Tam Lin says rabbits give up when they're caught by coyotes," Matt said after he'd calmed enough to trust his voice. "He says they consent to die because they're animals and can't understand hope. Hit humans are different.. They fight against death no matter how bad things seem, and sometimes, even when everything's against them, they win."
"Yeah. About once in a million years," said Chacho.
"Twice in a million," said Matt. "There's who of us."
"You are one dumb bunny," said Chacho, but he stopped crying.”
― Nancy Farmer, The House of the Scorpion

“By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing.
And he vows his passion is,
Infinite, undying.
Lady make note of this --
One of you is lying.”
― Dorothy Parker
