“تاریخ و ادب فارسی دوشادوش یکدیگر حرکت کرده اند. آنچه در تاریخ نیامده، در ادب و به خصوص شعر فارسی دیده می شود؛ و در مقابل، درک ریشه های ادب فارسی، بی آنکه به حوادث تاریخی توجه شود، امکان پذیر نیست. چرا فکر صوفیانه تا این پایه نضج گرفت؟ چرا اندیشه ی خیامی به این درجه از نفوذ رسید؟ چرا عشق بر چنین مصطبه ای نشانده شد که حل کل مسائل بشری از آن خواسته شود؟ چرا شعر مدحی یک چنین دامنه ی ناهنجاری به خود گرفت؟ پاسخ همه ی این ها را از تاریخ باید شنید.”

“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.”
