“یخ بزن،یخ بزن ای آسمان گرفته،
تویی که هرگز این گونه گاز نمیزنی
چون نیکی های فراموش شده،
هرچند آبهارا یخ میبندی،
لیک مانند دوستی بی تفاوت،
آن چنان مجروح نمیکنی...
آهای!بخوانیم!آهای!زیر درخت راج سبز...”
― ویلیام شکسپیر

“Memory, I realize, can be an unreliable thing; often it is heavily coloured by the circumstances in which one remembers, and no doubt this applies to certain of the recollections I have gathered here. ”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, A Pale View of Hills

“Failure is so common a human experience that what distinguishes us from one another is not that we fail but rather how we respond when we do.”
― Guy Winch, Emotional First Aid: Practical Strategies for Treating Failure, Rejection, Guilt, and Other Everyday Psychological Injuries

“Animula vagula blandula
Hospes comesque corporis
Quae nunc abibis? In Loca
Pallidula rigida nudula
nec ut soles dabis Iocos.

Little soul, you charming little wanderer, my body's guest and partner,
where are you off to now?
somewhere without colour, savage and bare;
You'll crack no more of your jokes once you're there.”
― Hadrian
