Quotes by Shahrnush Parsipur (?)

“Touba wished to be alone. She did not actually know what that meant—perhaps it was that she wanted to feel free. She had always felt spiritually alone, but growing up communally and being constantly among others, she had not had the chance to experience true solitude.”
― Shahrnush Parsipur

“As we were walking along I was thinking about how many people had to drown so that the first human could learn to swim. Even so, there are still those who drown.”
