“انسان چگونه حسی ست ، من چگونه حسی هستم وقتی خودم را ،بارانی ام را ، شال گردنم را و چمدانم را با خود حمل می کنم از جایی که نمی شناسم به جایی که فقط یک احتمال هست برایِ آسودن؟ من چگونه حسی هستم ووقتی ذهنم شاخه ،شاخه،شاخه است که من در هر شاخه اش اسیر و اسیر و اسیرم به جستجویِ نیافتن و نبودِ آنچه در جستجویش هستم”
― محمود دولت آبادی / Mahmoud Dolat Abadi, سُلوک
