“There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain… Or so says the legend.”
― Colleen McCullough, The Thorn Birds

“وقتي تو نيستي
نه هست‌هاي ما
چونانكه بايدند
نه بايدها

مثل هميشه آخر حرفم
و حرف آخرم را
با بغض مي‌خورم

عمـري است
لبخندهاي لاغر خود را
در دل ذخيره مي‌كنم: باشد براي روز مبادا
اما
در صفحه‌هاي تقويم
روزي به نام روز مبادا نيست

آن روز هر چه باشد
روزي شبيه ديروز
روزي شبيه فردا
روزي درست مثل همين روزهاي ماست
اما كسي چه مي‌داند؟
شايد
امروز نيز روز مبادا
باشد

وقتي تو نيستي
نه هست‌هاي ما
چونانكه بايدند
نه بايدها

هر روز بي‌تو
روز مباداست”
― قيصر امين‌پور / Gheysar Amin Pour, آینه‌های ناگهان
