“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling.

“دختران شهر
به روستا فکر می کنند
دختران روستا
در آرزوی شهر می میرند

در آرزوی آرامش مردان کوچک
می میرند
کدام پل
در کجای جهان
شکسته است
که هیچکس به خانه اش نمی رسد”
― گروس عبدالملکیان
