“In the particular is contained the universal.”
― James Joyce

“...when life demands to break through and bust the seams of chaos, you can´t stop it. It goes on.”
― Jennifer Murgia, Angel Star

“برای کشتن که حتما لازم نیست انسان هفت تیر بوک جونز را بردارد و تق تق، شلیک کند! من به این طرز کشتن معتقد نیستم. انسان می تواند کسی را در قلبش بکشد. اگر انسان از دوست داشتن کسی دست بردارد، او را در قلب خود کشته است. سر آخر هم که او خودش روزی خواهد مرد”
― José Mauro de Vasconcelos, درخت زیبای من

“Up in the sky swallows, swooping, swerving, flinging themselves in and out, round and round, yet always with perfect control as if elastics held them; and the sun spotting now this leaf, now that, in mockery, dazzling it with soft gold in pure good temper; and now and again some chime (it might be a motor horn) tinkling divinely on the grass stalks - all of this, calm and reasonable as it was made out of ordinary things as it was, was the truth now; beauty, that was the truth now; beauty, that was the truth now. Beauty was everywhere.”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway
