“Every morning I walk like this around
the pond, thinking: if the doors to my heart
ever close, I am as good as dead.”
― Mary Oliver, Dream Work

“And probably, if they don’t waste time looking for an easier world, they can do it.”
― Mary Oliver, Dream Work

“The success parts of life might look good to others, but the best parts, are actually the simple daily experiences…When you finally achieve one of your goals, which you will, and it long last get to a place you dreamed of for years, and it does not feel the way you hoped it would, don't worry about it. I've had few achievements that felt better than morning crew sounds, and crossword puzzles with friends, and middling coffee with love, because the spotlight aspect of life, that’s not the satisfying part.”
― Lauren Graham, In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It

“هزار سال پیش
شبی که ابر اخترانِ دور دست
می‌گذشت از فراز بام من
صدام کرد

چه آشناست این صدا
همان که از زمان گاهواره می‌شنیدمش
همان که از درون من صِدام می‌کند

هزار سال میان جنگل ستاره‌ها پیِ تو گشته‌ام
ستاره‌ای نگفت
کزین سرای بی‌کسی
کسی صدات می‌کند؟

هنوز دیر نیست
هنوز صبر من
به قامت بلند آرزوست

عزیز همزبان من
تو در کدام کهکشان نشسته‌ای؟!...”
― هوشنگ ابتهاج
