“I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself”
― D.H. Lawrence

“If I never meet you
In this life
Let me feel the lack
A glance from your eyes
Then my life
Will be yours”
― James Jones, The Thin Red Line

“اگر باید زخمی داشته باشم
که نوازشم کنی
بگو تا تمام دلم را
شرحه شرحه کنم

زخم‌ها زیبایند
و زیباتر آن‌که
تیغ را هم تو فرود آورده باشی
تیغت سـِحر است و
نوازشت معجزه
و لبخندت
تنظیفی از فواره‌ی نور
و تیمار داری‌ات
کرشمه‌ای میان زخم و مرهم

عشق و زخم
از یک تبارند
اگر خویشاوندیم یا نه
من سراپا همه زخمم
تو سراپا
همه انگشت نوازش باش”
― حسين منزوي / Hosein Monzavi, مجموعه اشعار حسین منزوی

“I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it's just too much. The current's too strong. They've got to let go, drift apart. That's how it is with us. It's a shame, Kath, because we've loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can't stay together forever.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go
