“This is [...] for the ones who are told speak only when you are spoken to and then are never spoken to. Speak every time you stand, so you do not forget yourself. Do not let a moment go by that doesn't remind you that your heart beats thousands of time every day and that were are enough gallons of blood to make every one of us oceans. Do not settle for letting these waves settle and for the dust to collect in your veins.”
― Anis Mojgani, Songs From Under The River

“For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“We once climbed into bed as though between the sheets
was a valley where dinosaurs still lived.
And how we would explore them with a flashlight
catching these triceratops and brontosauruses.
But even he was opened with the dripping teeth of reality.”
― Anis Mojgani, Songs From Under The River

“And questions are the only answers we need
to know that we are as alive as as a time when I held the mind of a child asking:
Why is 2+3 always equal to 5?
Where do people go when they die?
What made the beauty of the moon -
the beauty of the sea?
Did that beauty make you?
Did that beauty make me?
Will it make me
something?
Will I be something?
Am I something?
And the answer comes:
You already are.
You always were.
And you still have time to be.”
― Anis Mojgani, Songs From Under The River
