“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

“No, my dear, I'm not in love with you, no more than you are with me, and if I were, you would be the last person I'd ever tell. God help the man who ever really loves you. You'd break his heart, my darling, cruel, destructive little cat who is so careless and confident she doesn't even trouble to sheathe her claws.”
― Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

“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

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa
