“Humans are unique in this world in that, as opposed to all other animals, they have developed a consciousness so advanced that it has one awful byproduct: they are the only creatures aware of their own mortality. This truth is so terrifying that from a very early age humans bury it deep in their unconscious, and this has turned people into red-blooded machines, fleshy factories that manufacture meaning.”
― Steve Toltz, A Fraction of the Whole

“و به مهمان تعارف مكن و هر ساعت مگوى كه: "اى فلان! نان نيك بخور! هيچ نمى خورى! به جان تو كه شرم مدار" كه از چنين گفتار مهمان شرمزده گردد و نان نتواند خوردن و نيم سير از خوان برخيزد.
و ما را به گيلان رسمى است خوب، چون مهمانى را به خوان برند، خوردنى در ميان خوان بنهند و خداوندخانه از آن جا برود تا مهمانان چنان كه خواهند نان بخورند.”
