Benjamin Alire Sáenz
“The problem with my life was that it was someone else's idea.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Gabriel F.W. Koch
“I watched her undress with moonlight shivering across the room from behind sheer curtains that moved with the currents from the hearth fire.”
Gabriel F.W. Koch, Death Leaves a Shadow

Ken Follett
“They did not suspect her for a moment. It did not occur to them that a woman could be dangerous. How foolish they were. Women could do most of the things men did. Who was left in charge when the men were fighting wars, or going on crusades? There were women carpenters, dyers, tanners, bakers and brewers.”
Ken Follett, The Pillars of the Earth

Samuel Beckett
“خودم را در آغوش گرفته ام! نه چندان با لطافت نه چندان با محبت اما وفادار .. وفادار”
ساموئل بکت

Joseph Campbell
“In our society of fixed texts and printed words, it is the function of the poet to see the life value of the facts round about, and to deify them, as it were, to provide images that relate the everyday to the eternal.”
Joseph Campbell, Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation
