“I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.”
― Franz Kafka, Franz Kafka's The Castle

“That was one of the virtues of being a pessimist: nothing was ever as bad as you thought it would be.”
― James Jones, From Here to Eternity

“یه شعله شکسته، یه شمع رو به بادم
خسته از این زمونه، فریاد گریه دارم
شده فضای خونه، سیه چو روزگارم
از همه دل بریدن، دل به کسی ندادم

عاشق شدم به چشمات، دادم دلُ به رؤیا
رفتی و پا گذاشتی به سادگی حرفام

با یاد تو همیشه
عمرم تموم نمی شه

تموم زندگیمُ به چشمای تو دادم
عمری به پات نشستم،دل به کسی ندادم

منتظرم که روزی تو باشی در کنارم”
― سعیدی سیرجانی / Sa'idi Sirjani

“I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much. The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how it is with us. It's a shame, Kath, because we've loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can't stay together forever.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go
