“And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“وقتي گريبان عدم با دست خلقت مي دريد
وقتي ابد چشم تو را پيش از ازل مي آفريد

وقتي زمين ناز تو را در آسمان ها مي كشيد
وقتي عطش طعم تو را با اشك هايم مي چشيد

من عاشق چشمت شدم نه عقل بود و نه دلي
چيزي نمي دانم از اين ديوانگي و عاقلي

يك آن شد اين عاشق شدن دنيا همان يك لحظه بود
آن دم كه چشمانت مرا از عمق چشمانم ربود

وقتي كه من عاشق شدم شيطان به نامم سجده كرد
آدم زميني تر شد و عالم به آدم سجده كرد

من بودم و چشمان تو نه آتشي و نه گلي
چيزي نمي دانم از اين ديوانگي و عاقلي”
― افشین یداللهی

“I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.”
― James Joyce, Ulysses

“The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
