“Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.”
― William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury

“مرا، مي بايد كه در اين خم راه
در انتظاري تاب سوز
سايه گاهي به چوب و سنگ برآرم
چرا كه سرانجام،اميد
ازسفري به ديرانجاميده
بازمي آيد
به زماني اما
اي دريغ
كه مرا
بامي بر سر نيست
نه گليمي به زير پاي
از تاب خورشيد
تفتيدن را
سبويي نيست
تاآبش دهم
وبر آسودن از خستگي را
باليني نه
كه بنشانمش
مسافرچشم به راهيهاي من
بيگاهان از راه بخواهد رسيد
اي همه ي اميدها
مرا به برآوردن اين بام
نيرويي دهيد”
― احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamloo, از هوا و آینه‌ها

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

“But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.”
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet
