Azar Nafisi
“You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place, I told him, like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way ever again.”
Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

Albert Einstein
“Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.”
Albert Einstein

Ted Chiang
“Nothing erases the past. There is repentance, there is atonement, and there is forgiveness. That is all, but that is enough.”
Ted Chiang, The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate

Lauren Wilkinson
“The first few moments after you meet someone are precious, because the data on them is plentiful and your own subjectivity has yet to interfere.”
Lauren Wilkinson, American Spy

Michael Jordan
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan
