Book cover for Life and Times of Michael K
It is no longer the green and the brown that I want but the yellow and the red; not the wet but the dry; not the dark but the light; not the soft but the hard. I am becoming a different kind of man, he thought, if there are two kinds of ...more

احمد شاملو
“چه بی‌تابانه می‌خواهمت ای دوری‌ات آزمونِ تلخِ زنده‌به‌گوری!
چه بی‌تابانه تو را طلب می‌کنم!

بر پُشتِ سمندی
گویی
نوزین
که قرارش نیست.
و فاصله
تجربه‌یی بیهوده است.

بوی پیرهنت،
این‌جا
و اکنون.

کوه‌ها در فاصله
سردند.
دست
در کوچه و بستر
حضورِ مأنوسِ دستِ تو را می‌جوید،
و به راه اندیشیدن
یأس را
رَج می‌زند.

بی‌نجوای انگشتانت
فقط.
و جهان از هر سلامی خالی‌ست”
احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamlou

Mikhail Bulgakov
“But would you kindly ponder this question: What would your good do if
evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows
disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the
shadow of my sword. But shadows also come from trees and living beings.
Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because
of your fantasy of enjoying naked light? You're stupid.”
Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

Sylvia Plath
“I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I should any more. This made me sad and tired. Then I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I shouldn't, the way Doreen did, and this made me even sadder and more tired.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

William Faulkner
“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
William Faulkner
