“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

“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

“I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself”
― D.H. Lawrence

“اگر باید زخمی داشته باشم
که نوازشم کنی
بگو تا تمام دلم را
شرحه شرحه کنم

زخم‌ها زیبایند
و زیباتر آن‌که
تیغ را هم تو فرود آورده باشی
تیغت سـِحر است و
نوازشت معجزه
و لبخندت
تنظیفی از فواره‌ی نور
و تیمار داری‌ات
کرشمه‌ای میان زخم و مرهم

عشق و زخم
از یک تبارند
اگر خویشاوندیم یا نه
من سراپا همه زخمم
تو سراپا
همه انگشت نوازش باش”
― حسين منزوي / Hosein Monzavi, مجموعه اشعار حسین منزوی
