“Love Poem
ـــــــــ
It's so nice
to wake up in the morning
all alone
and not have to tell somebody
you love them
when you don't love them
any more.”
Richard Brautigan

احمد شاملو
“و ما هم‌چنان
دوره می‌کنیم
شب را و روز را
هنوز را”
احمد شاملو, مرثیه‌های خاک

Jules Verne
“Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.”
Jules Verne, Around the World in Eighty Days

Neil Postman
“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions."

In 1984, Huxley added, "people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us".”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

نادر ابراهیمی
“هیچ پایانی به راستی پایان نیست. در هر سرانجام, مفهوم یک آغاز نهفته است. چه کسی میتواند بگوید "تمام شد" و دروغ نگفته باشد؟”
نادر ابراهیمی, بار دیگر شهری که دوست می‌داشتم
