“Clinging to an idealized past was a poison of sorts, that bastard Nostalgia, making people think there was a better time and place if they could just get back to it.”
― Hugh Howey, Sand

“Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete.”
― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

“مرا، مي بايد كه در اين خم راه
در انتظاري تاب سوز
سايه گاهي به چوب و سنگ برآرم
چرا كه سرانجام،اميد
ازسفري به ديرانجاميده
بازمي آيد
به زماني اما
اي دريغ
كه مرا
بامي بر سر نيست
نه گليمي به زير پاي
از تاب خورشيد
تفتيدن را
سبويي نيست
تاآبش دهم
وبر آسودن از خستگي را
باليني نه
كه بنشانمش
مسافرچشم به راهيهاي من
بيگاهان از راه بخواهد رسيد
اي همه ي اميدها
مرا به برآوردن اين بام
نيرويي دهيد”
― احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamloo, از هوا و آینه‌ها

“The ancient covenant is in pieces; man at last knows that he is alone in the unfeeling immensity of the universe, out of which he emerged only by chance.”
