“به کجا چنین شتابان؟
گون از نسیم پرسید
- دل من گرفته زین جا
هوس سفر نداری
ز غبار این بیابان؟
- همه آرزویم اما
چه کنم که بسته پایم.
به کجا چنین شتابان؟
- به هر آن کجا که باشد
به جز این سرا، سرایم
- سفرت به خیر اما تو و دوستی، خدا را
چو از این کویر وحشت به سلامتی گذشتی
به شکوفه‌ها، به باران
برسان سلام ما را”
― محمدرضا شفیعی کدکنی, در کوچه‌باغهای نشابور

“I would not put a thief in my mouth to steal my brains.”

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”
― William Shakespeare, Great Sonnets

“We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.”

“What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope?”
― Immanuel Kant

“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.”
― William Shakespeare, As You Like It

“In that book which is my memory,
On the first page of the chapter that is the day when I first met you,
Appear the words, ‘Here begins a new life’.”
― Dante Alighieri, Vita Nuova
