“آن‌که می‌گوید دوستت دارم
خُـنـیـاگر غمگینی‌ست
که آوازش را از دست داده است

ای کاش عشق را
زبان ِ سخن بود

هزار کاکلی شاد
در چشمان توست
هزار قناری خاموش
در گلوی من

عشق را
ای کاش زبان ِ سخن بود

آن‌که می‌گوید دوستت دارم
دل اندُه گین شبی ست
که مهتابش را می جوید

ای کاش عشق را
زبان ِ سخن بود

هزار آفتاب خندان در خرام ِ توست
هزار ستاره‌ی گریان
در تمنای من

عشق را
ای کاش زبان ِ سخن بود”
― احمد شاملو

“Feminism is itself a challenge. Feminism is a challenge to the way things are in the world. It is by definition an oppositional movement, because it’s trying to accomplish something. I’ve never felt like feminism was a consciousness raising effort in isolation. Everything about feminism is about getting something in the world to get better for women, and to get the world to be less stupid on gender bifurcation terms. I think that feminism over time gets better, or it gets better and worse and better and worse at achieving the goals that it’s trying to achieve, but the overall mission stays the same. I guess I don’t think of it as feminism versus anti-feminism; I sort of think of it as feminism versus the world. I don’t think of it as a competition; there’s no winning. In feminism, you’re always trying to make stuff better. It’s opposition to which you cannot attribute a tally.”
― Rachel Maddow
