“کم‌کم تفاوت ظریف میان نگه‌داشتن یک دست

و زنجیر کردن یک روح را یاد خواهی گرفت

این‌که عشق تکیه‌کردن نیست

و رفاقت، اطمینان‌خاطر

و یاد می‌گیری که بوسه‌ها قرارداد نیستند

... و هدیه‌ها، عهد و پیمان معنی نمی‌دهند

و شکست‌هایت را خواهی پذیرفت

سرت را بالا خواهی گرفت

با چشم‌های باز

با ظرافتی زنانه و نه اندوهی کودکانه

و یاد می‌گیری که همه‌ی راه‌هایت را هم امروز بسازی

که خاک فردا برای خیال‌ها مطمئن نیست

و آینده، امکانی برای سقوط به میانه‌ی نزاع در خود دارد

کم‌کم یاد می‌گیری

که حتی نور خورشید می‌سوزاند، اگر زیاد آفتاب بگیری

بعد......

باغ خود را می‌کاری و روحت را زینت می‌دهی

به جای این‌که منتظر کسی باشی تا برایت گل بیاورد

و یاد می‌گیری که می‌توانی تحمل کنی…

که محکم هستی…

که خیلی می‌ارزی.

و می‌آموزی و می‌آموزی

با هر خداحافظی

یاد می گیری...”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“Well, when you're fourteen years old, you can't afford to mix in a rock fight with your five-year-old brother. You can't do it, even when you're in the right.

“Joey began to look through Mr. Emoto’s big book. The photographs were amazing. He could hardly believe the pictures were of water.

The pictures showed the frozen water was just a blob for the mean words. And the frozen water with words like love and joy was so beautiful.”

“As I lay in bed, I experienced continual, yet gentle, throbbing throughout my face, but most pronounced directly under my eyes. At one point, around 1 a.m., I felt a build-up of pressure in my left eye, then a release. It was followed by quite a bit of crusty discharge. Suddenly, my eyes feel living—rooted.”

“If there is such a thing as being conditioned by climate and geography, and I think there is, it is the West that has conditioned me. It has the forms and lights and colors that I respond to in nature and in art. If there is a western speech, I speak it; if there is a western character or personality, I am some variant of it; if there is a western culture in the small-c , anthropological sense, I have not escaped it. It has to have shaped me. I may even have contributed to it in minor ways, for culture is a pyramid to which each of us brings a stone.

“The capital-T Truth is about life BEFORE death.

It is about the real value of a real education, which has almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:

"This is water."

"This is water."

It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.”
― David Foster Wallace
