“زندگي شايد
يك خيابان درازست كه هر روز زني با زنبيلي از آن مي گذرد
زندگي شايد
ريسمانيست كه مردي باآن خود را از شاخه مي آويزد
زندگي شايد طفليست كه از مدرسه بر مي گردد

زندگي شايد افروختن سيگاري باشد ،در فاصله ي رخوتناك دو همآغوشي
يا عبور گيج رهگذري باشد
كه كلاه از سر بر مي دارد
و به يك رهگذر ديگر با لبخندي بي معني مي گويد “صبح بخير”

زندگي شايد آن لحظه ي مسدوديست
كه نگاه من ،در ني ني چشمان تو خود را ويران مي سازد
و در اين حسي است
كه من آن را با ادراك ماه و با دريافت ظلمت خواهم آميخت”
― Forough Farrokhzad

“Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.”
― Osho Rajneesh, Everyday Osho: 365 Daily Meditations for the Here and Now
