“لحظه ی دیدار نزدیک است
باز من دیوانه ام ، مستم
باز می لرزد ، دلم ، دستم
باز گویی در جهان دیگری هستم
های ! نخراشی به غفلت گونه ام را ، تیغ
های ، نپریشی صفای زلفکم را ، دست
و آبرویم را نریزی ، دل
ای نخورده مست
لحظه ی دیدار نزدیک است”
― مهدی اخوان ثالث / Mehdi Akhavan Sales

“For men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they are born, the city apartment or farm in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read, and the God they believed in. It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can't come to know by hearsay...”
― W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor’s Edge

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost

“Any reduction of the world around us can have explosives consequences since it rules out some sources of uncertainty; it drives us to a misunderstanding of the fabric of the world. For instance, you may think that radical Islam (and its values) are your allies against the threat of Communism, and so you may help them develop, until they send two planes into downtown Manhattan.”
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan - The Impect Of The Highly Improbable
