“I think I can understand that feeling about a housewife’s work being like that of Sisyphus (who was the stone rolling gentleman). But it is surely in reality the most important work in the world. What do ships, railways, miners, cars, government etc exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes? As Dr. Johnson said, “To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavour”. (1st to be happy to prepare for being happy in our own real home hereafter: 2nd in the meantime to be happy in our houses.) We wage war in order to have peace, we work in order to have leisure, we produce food in order to eat it. So your job is the one for which all others exist…”
― C.S. Lewis, Letters of C. S. Lewis

“He says, you have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you can’t make up an empty mind. Stock your mind, stock your mind. You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace.”
― Frank McCourt, Angela’s Ashes

“دنيا كوچكتر از آن است
كه گم شده اي را در آن يافته باشي
هيچ كس اينجا گم نمي شود
آدمها به همان خونسردي كه آمده اند
چمدانشان را مي بندند
و ناپديد مي شوند
يكي در مه
يكي در غبار
يكي در باران
يكي در باد
و بي رحم ترينشان در برف
آنچه به جا مي ماند
رد پايي است
و خاطره اي كه هر از گاه
پس مي زند مثل نسيم سحر
پرده هاي اتاقت را”
― عباس صفاری / Abas Safari, کبریت خیس
