“Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that's the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing. Nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him if he gives too much.”
― Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
― Albert Einstein

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“نمی‌توان به لبخندی قانع بود
نمی‌شود موهایت را دید
و به باد حسودی نکرد
گونه‌هایت را دید
و به گناه نیاندیشید
و نمی‌شود به تو رسید
که پاهایت نوجوانند
و دیوارهایت بلند...

«من گرگ خیالبافی هستم»”
― الیاس علوی
