How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book!

Ethel Lilian Voynich
“خرمگس به ناگهان دست هایش را با حرکتی پرشور از هم گشود و گفت
آیا هرگز با خود فکر نکرده اید که این گوژپشت بینوا هم انسان است و روح دارد؟ یک روح زنده که تلاش می کند ولی با این وضع و حال، اسیر این پیکر خمیده شده و ناگزیر به بندگی است؟ شما که نسبت به هر چیزی این قدر حساس و نازک دل هستید؟ شما که دلتان به حال جسمی در لباس احمق ها می سوزد ، هرگز به روح بدبختی که حتی آن لباس رنگارنگ را ندارد که برهنگی وحشتناکس را بپوشاند فکر کرده اید؟ شما به روحی بیاندیشید که از سرما می لرزد و از شرم و بدبختی در برابر آن همه انسان خفه می شود. او ریشخندهای مردم را که مانند تازیانه ای به وجودش می خورد
حس میکند و خنده هایشان را که مثل آهن تفته ای تن سوز است لمس می کند!
بله، شما به روحی به انسانی بیندیشید که دربرابر چشم آنان با درماندگی نگران کوه ها است که بر او فرو نمی ریزند. نگران صخره هاست که پنهانش نمی کنند و سرانجام به موش هایی که می توانند خود را درون سوراخی پنهان کنند،
رشک می برد این را هم فراموش نکنید که روح لال است. صدایی ندارد که فریاد برآورد، باید تحمل کند و باز هم تحمل و باز هم تحمل...”
Ethel Lilian Voynich, خرمگس

Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Henry David Thoreau
“I read in the Gulistan, or Flower Garden, of Sheik Sadi of Shiraz, that "they asked a wise man, saying: Of the many celebrated trees which the Most High God has created lofty and umbrageous, they call none azad, or free, excepting the cypress, which bears no fruit; what mystery is there in this? He replied, Each has its appropriate produce, and appointed season, during the continuance of which it is fresh and blooming, and during their absence dry and withered; to neither of which states is the cypress exposed, being always flourishing; and of this nature are the azads, or religious independents.—Fix not thy heart on that which is transitory; for the Dijlah, or Tigris, will continue to flow through Bagdad after the race of caliphs is extinct: if thy hand has plenty, be liberal as the date tree; but if it affords nothing to give away, be an azad, or free man, like the cypress.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden

“It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live. The value of a man is not in his skin, that we should touch him.”
