“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
― Brene Brown

“I am made for autumn. Summer and I have a fickle relationship, but everything about autumn is perfect to me. Wooly jumpers, Wellington boot, scarves, thin first, then thick, socks. The low slanting light, the crisp mornings, the chill in my fingers, those last warm sunny days before the rain and the wind. Her moody hues and subdued palate punctuated every now and again by a brilliant orange, scarlet or copper goodbye. She is my true love.”
― Alys Fowler

“ارغوان
شاخه هم خون جدا مانده من
آسمان تو چه رنگ است امروز
آفتابیست هوا یا گرفته است هنوز
من در این گوشه که از دنیا بیرونست
و آسمانی به سرم نیست
از بهاران خبرم نیست
آنچه می بینم دیوارست
آه این سقف سیاه
آنچنان نزدیکست
که چو بر می کشم از سینه نفس
نفسم را بر می گرداند
ره چنان بسته که پرواز نگه
در همین یک قدمی می ماند
کور سویی ز چراغی رنجور
قصه پرداز شب ظلمانیست
نفسم می گیرد
که هوا هم این جا زندانیست
هر چه با من این جاست رنگ رخ باخته است
آفتابی هرگز گوشه چشمی هم بر خاموشی این دخمه نیانداخته است
هم در این گوشه خاموش فراموش شده
که از دم سردش هر شمعی خاموش شده
یاد رنگینی در خاطرم گریه می انگیزد”
― هوشنگ ابتهاج / سایه / Hushang Ebtehaj

“Happy the man, and happy he alone,
he who can call today his own:
he who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

Be fair or foul, or rain or shine
the joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself, upon the past has power,
but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.”
― Horace

The sky is always mine.
Windows, ideas, air, love,
earth, all mine.

“من اینجا ریشه در خاکم
من اینجا عاشق این خاک اگر آلوده یا پاکم
من اینجا تا نفس باقیست می مانم
من از اینجا چه می خواهم،نمی دانم
امید روشنائی گر چه در این تیره گیهانیست
من اینجا باز در این دشت خشک تشنه می رانم
من اینجا روزی آخر از دل این خاک با دست تهی
گل بر می افشانم
من اینجا روزی آخر از ستیغ کوه چون خورشید
سرود فتح می خوانم
و می دانم
تو روزی باز خواهی گشت”
― فریدون مشیری

“There is psychological pleasure in this takeoff, too, for the swiftness of the plane’s ascent is an exemplary symbol of transformation. The display of power can inspire us to imagine analogous, decisive shifts in our own lives, to imagine that we, too, might one day surge above much that now looms over us.” P. 38-39”
