“Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.”
― Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic

“مرا دفنِ سراشیبها کنید که تنها

نمی از باران به من رسد اما

سیلابه اش از سر گذر کند

― بیژن الهی

“در این سخن چه چیزی تو را ترساند؟ باری، این سخنی است همان اندازه در بابِ انسان که در بابِ درخت. او هرچه بیشتر بخواهد به سوی بلندی و نور سرافرازد، ریشه هایش سخت‌تر می کوشند در زمین فروروند، در فروسو در تاریکی، در ژرفنا-در شرّ!”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“And of course she enjoyed life immensely. It was her nature to enjoy. Anyhow there was no bitterness in her; none of that sense of moral virtue which is so repulsive in good women.

― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
