“People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.”
― Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

“همه
لرزش دست و دلم
از آن بود که
که عشق
پناهی گردد،
پروازی نه
گریز گاهی گردد.

ای عشق ای عشق
چهره آبیت پیدا نیست
***
و خنکای مرحمی
بر شعله زخمی
نه شور شعله
بر سرمای درون

ای عشق ای عشق
چهره سرخت پیدا نیست.
***
غبار تیره تسکینی
بر حضور ِ وهن
و دنج ِ رهائی
بر گریز حضور.
سیاهی
بر آرامش آبی
و سبزه برگچه
بر ارغوان
ای عشق ای عشق
رنگ آشنایت
پیدا نیست”
― احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamlou

“کوه ها با هم اند و تنها یند
همچو ما ،با همان تنهایان ”
― احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamlou

“When my trust was suspended from the fragile thread of justice
and in the whole city
they were chopping up my heart's lanterns
when they would blindfold me
with the dark handkerchief of Law
and from my anxious temples of desire
fountains of blood would squirt out
when my life had become nothing
nothing
but the tic-tac of a clock,
I discovered
I must
must
must love,
insanely.”
― Forough Farrokhzad
