“من در اين تاريكي
فكر يك بره‌ي روشن هستم
كه بيايد علف خستگي‌ام را بچرد.

من در اين تاريكي
امتداد تر بازوهايم را
زير باراني مي‌بينم
كه دعاهاي نخستين بشر را تر كرد.

من در اين تاريكي
در گشودم به چمن‌هاي قديم،
به طلايي‌هايي، كه به ديوار اساطير تماشا كرديم.

من در اين تاريكي
ريشه‌ها را ديدم
و براي بته‌ي نورس مرگ، آب را معني كردم.”
― سهراب سپهري

― Sigmund Freud, The Future of an Illusion

“It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.”
― Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents

“Reach high, for stars lie hidden in you. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.”
― Rabindranath Tagore
