“If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

“After we finished hanging Hoess,” Mengel said to me, “I packed up my clothes to go home. The catch on my suitcase was broken, so I buckled it shut with a big leather strap. Twice within an hour I did the very same job—once to Hoess and once to my suitcase. Both jobs felt about the same.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)”
― E.E. Cummings

“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

A lovely bookshelf on the wall.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books.”

I stopped loving you,

I stayed the less I loved myself.”

“we rarely confide in those who are better than we. Rather, we are more inclined to flee their society. Most often, on the other hand, we confess to those who are like us and who share our weaknesses. Hence we don't want to improve ourselves and be bettered, for we should first have to be judged in default. We merely wish to be pitied and encouraged in the course we have chosen. In short, we should like, at the same time, to cease being guilty and yet not to make the effort of cleansing ourselves.”
― Albert Camus

“Un bon livre, Marcus, est un livre que l’on regrette d’avoir terminé.”

“آمده‌ام به لندن... برای دیدن حسن... فقط دیدن، چون این دو روز حتی ده دقیقه هم با هم گفت‌و‌گوی دوستانه یا خلوتی نداشته‌ایم. این‌بار مصاحبت بصری است. احتیاجی هم به گفت‌و‌گو نیست. یاد مولانا افتادم:
حرف و گفت و صوت را بر هم زنم
تا که بی این هر سه با تو دم زنم
دم زدن با هم. در مورد حسن بسیار حس کرده‌ام که هیچ کدام حرفی برای گفتن نداریم زیرا نیازی به گفتن چیزی نیست و در سکوت نوعی رابطه‌ی بی‌خدشه و بکر، نوعی پیوند ناپیدا و نیاشفته برقرار شده است. مثل وقتی که آدم آب شفاف چشمه‌ای را به هم نمی‌زند تا صورت آیینه‌ای زلال پریشان نشود. خیلی وقت‌ها کافی است که آدم دم زدن خاموش دیگری را دریابد. مردم کم‌تر حرمت سکوت را نگه می‌دارند.”
― شاهرخ مسکوب

Life is a broken-winged bird,
