“grab this world by its clothespins, and shake it out again and again. And hop on top and take it for a spin. And when you hop off, shake it again. For this is yours. Make these words worth it. Make this not just another poem that I write. Not just another poem like just another night, that sits heavy above us all. Walk into it, breath it in. Let it crawl though the halls of your arms, like the millions of years of millions of poets coursing like blood, pumping and pushing, making you live, shaking the dust. So when the world knocks at your door, clutch the knob tightly and open on up. And run forward. Run forward as fast and as far as you must. Run into its widespread greeting arms with your hands outstretched before you, fingertips trembling though they may be.”
― Anis Mojgani, Songs From Under the River: A collection of early and new work

“Know that whatever God prays to
He asked it to help Him make something of worth.
He woke from His dreams scraped the soil from the spaces inside Himself made you and was happy.
You make the Lord happy.”
― Anis Mojgani

“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

“Don't cry for someone who would love smiling when your tears are flowing.”
