“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

"Augustus," I said.

"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”

“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“May I see you again?" he asked. There was an endearing nervousness in his voice.

I smiled. "Sure."

"Tomorrow?" he asked.

"Patience, grasshopper," I counseled. "You don't want to seem overeager.

"Right, that's why I said tomorrow," he said. "I want to see you again tonight. But I'm willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow." I rolled my eyes. "I'm serious," he said.

"You don't even know me," I said. I grabbed the book from the center console. "How about I call you when I finish this?"

"But you don't even have my phone number," he said.

"I strongly suspect you wrote it in this book."

He broke out into that goofy smile. "And you say we don't know each other.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“I am looking for friends. What does that mean -- tame?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world....”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure . . . And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, 'Yes, the stars always make me laugh!' And they will think you are crazy. It will be a very shabby trick that I shall have played on you...”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Where are the people?” resumed the little prince at last. “It’s a little lonely in the desert…” “It is lonely when you’re among people, too,” said the snake.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“زندگی من مثل یک شمع آب می شود، نه اشتباه می کنم-مثل یک کنده ی هیزم تر است که گوشه ی دیگدان افتاده و به آتش هیزم های دیگر برشته و زغال شده، ولی نه سوخته و نه تر و تازه مانده، فقط از دود و دم دیگران خفه شده”
― صادق هدایت / Sadegh Hedayat, The Blind Owl

انگار که نیستی چون هستی خوش باش”

“راست است این سخنان:
من چنان آینه وار
در نظرگاه تو استادم پاک،
که چو رفتی ز برم
چیزی از ماحصل عشق تو بر جای نماند
در خیال و نظرم
غیر اندوهی در دل، غیر نامی به زبان،
جز خطوط گم و ناپیدایی
در رسوب غم روزان و شبان...”
― احمد شاملو, شعرها ١٣٢٣ - ١٣٧٨: دفتر یکم

“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

“گر بدينسان زيست بايد پست
من چه بي‌شرمم اگر فانوس عمرم را به رسوايي نياويزم
بر بلند كاج خشك كوچهء بن‌بست من

گر بدينسان زيست بايد پاك
من چه ناپاكم اگر ننشانم از ايمان خود، چون كوه
يادگاري جاودانه، بر تراز بي‌بقاي خاك.”
― احمد شاملو_ahmad shamlou, هوای تازه

“قاصدک ! هان ، چه خبر آوردی ؟
از کجا وز که خبر آوردی ؟
خوش خبر باشی ، اما ،‌اما
گرد بام و در من
بی ثمر می گردی
انتظار خبری نیست مرا
نه ز یاری نه ز دیار و دیاری باری
برو آنجا که بود چشمی و گوشی با کس
برو آنجا که تو را منتظرند
قاصدک
در دل من همه کورند و کرند
دست بردار ازین در وطن خویش غریب
قاصد تجربه های همه تلخ
با دلم می گوید
که دروغی تو ، دروغ
که فریبی تو. ، فریب
قاصدک 1 هان ، ولی ... آخر ... ای وای
راستی ایا رفتی با باد ؟
با توام ، ای! کجا رفتی ؟ ای
راستی ایا جایی خبری هست هنوز ؟
مانده خکستر گرمی ، جایی ؟
در اجاقی طمع شعله نمی بندم خردک شرری هست هنوز ؟
قاصدک
ابرهای همه عالم شب و روز
در دلم می گریند”
― مهدی اخوان ثالث / Mehdi Akhavan Sales

“قاصدک! هان، چه خبر آوردي؟
از کجا، وز که خبر آوردي؟
خوش خبر باشي، امّا، امّا
گرد بام و در من
بي ثمر مي گردي.
انتظار خبري نيست مرا
نه زياري نه ز ديّاري ، باري،
برو آنجا که بود چشمي و گوشي با کس،
برو آنجا که ترا منتظرند.
قاصدک!
در دل من همه کورند و کرند.
دست بردار از اين در وطن خويش غريب.
قاصدک تجربه هاي همه تلخ،
با دلم مي گويد
که دروغي تو، دروغ
که فريبي تو، فريب.
قاصدک! هان، ولي ...
راستي آيا رفتي با باد؟
با توام، آي کجا رفتي؟ آي...!
راستي آيا جايي خبري هست هنوز؟
مانده خاکستر گرمي، جايي؟
در اجاقي- طمع شعله نمي بندم - اندک شرري هست هنوز؟
قاصدک!
ابرهاي همه عالم شب و روز
در دلم مي گريند ...”
