“دختران شهر
به روستا فکر می کنند
دختران روستا
در آرزوی شهر می میرند
مردان کوچک
به آسایش مردان بزرگ فکر می کنند
مردان بزرگ
در آرزوی آرامش مردان کوچک
می میرند
کدام پل
در کجای جهان
شکسته است
که هیچکس به خانه اش نمی رسد”
― گروس عبدالملکیان

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner
