“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“Books, purchasable at low cost, permit us to interrogate the past with high accuracy; to tap the wisdom of our species; to understand the point of view of others, and not just those in power; to contemplate--with the best teachers--the insights, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, drawn from the entire planet and from all of our history. They allow people long dead to talk inside our heads. Books can accompany us everywhere. Books are patient where we are slow to understand, allow us to go over the hard parts as many times as we wish, and are never critical of our lapses. Books are key to understanding the world and participating in a democratic society.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous.”
― David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature

“لحظه ی دیدار نزدیک است
باز من دیوانه ام ، مستم
باز می لرزد ، دلم ، دستم
باز گویی در جهان دیگری هستم
های ! نخراشی به غفلت گونه ام را ، تیغ
های ، نپریشی صفای زلفکم را ، دست
و آبرویم را نریزی ، دل
ای نخورده مست
لحظه ی دیدار نزدیک است”
― مهدی اخوان ثالث / Mehdi Akhavan Sales
