“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.”
― Bessie Anderson Stanley, More Heart Throbs Volume Two in Prose and Verse Dear to the American People And by them contributed as a Supplement to the original $10,000 Prize Book HEART THROBS

کمی موسیقی گوش کند، کمی شعر بخواند و روزی یک تصویر زیبا ببیند
تا علایق دنیوی نتوانند حس زیبایی شناسی را خداوند در روح او قرار داده است، نابود کند”

“آن‌که می‌گوید دوستت دارم
خُـنـیـاگر غمگینی‌ست
که آوازش را از دست داده است

ای کاش عشق را
زبان ِ سخن بود

هزار کاکلی شاد
در چشمان توست
هزار قناری خاموش
در گلوی من

عشق را
ای کاش زبان ِ سخن بود

آن‌که می‌گوید دوستت دارم
دل اندُه گین شبی ست
که مهتابش را می جوید

ای کاش عشق را
زبان ِ سخن بود

هزار آفتاب خندان در خرام ِ توست
هزار ستاره‌ی گریان
در تمنای من

عشق را
ای کاش زبان ِ سخن بود”
― احمد شاملو

“در تاريکی چشمانت را جستم
در تاریکی چشم هایت را یافتم
و شبم پر ستاره شد”
― احمد شاملو, شعرها ١٣٢٣ - ١٣٧٨: دفتر یکم

“دیگر امیدی به پیدا شدن نیست.دنبال من نکرد! بگذار فقط افسانه‌وار همان‌جا که هستیم و هر که هستیم بمانیم. تو خودت باش و من هم خودم.امروز و امروز و امروز. و بگذار آینده به فردا اعتماد کند. بگذار ستاره‌ها مراقب ما باشند. بگذار در مدارهای خودمان حرکت کنیم، و مطمئن باشیم که روزی در آینده به هم برمی‌خورند. بگذار تجدید دیدارمان نه یک یافتن و پیدا شدن، که تصادف شیرین سرنوشتمان باشد!
باز هم دوستت دارم و دوستت دارم و دوستت دارم!”
― Jerry Spinelli, Love, Stargirl

“How I go to the wood

Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single
friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore
unsuitable.

I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds
or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of
praying, as you no doubt have yours.

Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit
on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds,
until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost
unhearable sound of the roses singing.

If you have ever gone to the woods with me, I must love
you very much.”
― Mary Oliver, Swan: Poems and Prose Poems

“بچه‌ی خسّه مونده
چیزی به صب نمونده
غصه نخور دیوونه
کی دیده که شب بمونه؟”
― احمد شاملو, هوای تازه

“به تو دست مي‌سايم و جهان را در مي‌يابم،
به تو مي‌انديشم
و زمان را لمس مي‌کنم
معلق و بي‌انتها
عُريان.



مي‌وزم، مي‌بارم، مي‌تابم.
آسمان‌ام
ستاره‌گان و زمين،
و گندم ِ عطرآگيني که دانه مي‌بندد
رقصان
در جان ِ سبز ِ خويش.





از تو عبور مي‌کنم
چنان که تُندری از شب. ــ



مي‌درخشم
و فرومي‌ريزم.
احمد شاملو”
― شاملو

so much like stars
filling the dark trees

its reason for being was nothing more

“If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Peter was not with them for the moment, and they felt rather lonely up there by themselves. He could go so much faster than they that he would suddenly shoot out of sight, to have some adventure in which they had no share.
He would come down laughing over something fearfully funny he had been saying to a star, but he had already forgotten what it was, or he would come up with mermaid scales still sticking to him, and yet not be able to to say for certain what had been happening.
It was really rather irritating to children who had never seen a mermaid.”
― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
