نفسم گرفت ازين شب در اين حصار بشكن
در اين حصار جادويي روزگار بشكن
چو شقايق از دل سنگ برآر رايت خون
به جنون صلابت صخره ي كوهسار بشكن
تو كه ترجمان صبحي به ترنم و ترانه
لب زخم ديده بگشا صف انتظار بشكن
... سر آن ندارد امشب كه برآيد آفتابي؟
تو خود آفتاب خود باش و طلسم كار بشكن
بسراي تا كه هستي كه سرودن است بودن
به ترنمي دژ وحشت اين ديار بشكن
شب غارت تتاران همه سو فكنده سايه
تو به آذرخشي اين سايه ي ديوسار بشكن
ز برون كسي نيايد چو به ياري تو اينجا
تو ز خويشتن برون آ سپه تتار بشكن

“Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire. These are the things to fear, said the headmaster.”

“There are perhaps many causes worth dying for, but to me, certainly, there are none worth killing for.”

“Drying her eyes, Mother said to Totto-chan very slowly, "You're Japanese and Masao-chan comes from a country called Korea. But he's a child, just like you. So, Totto-chan, dear, don't ever think of people as different. Don't think, 'That person's a Japanese, or this person's a Korean.' Be nice to Masao-chan. It's so sad that some people think other people aren't nice just because they're Koreans.”
