    “من حاشیه نشین هستم.
    به مسجد می روم، در حاشیه ی مسجد نماز می خوانم، نزدیک کفش ها، در حاشیه ی جلسه ی قرآن می نشینم. من قرآن خواندن را یاد گرفته ام، قرآن کتاب خوبی است. قرآن ما حاشیه ندارد. هیچ کلمه ای را در حاشیه ی آن ننوشته اند، اگر هم گاهی کلماتی در حاشیه باشند، آن کلمات حاشیه هم مثل کلمات دیگر عزیز و خوبند.
    من قرآن را دوست دارم.
    خوب است همه چیز مثل قرآن خوب باشد.”
