“and he suddenly knew that if she killed herself, he would die. Maybe not immediately, maybe not with the same blinding rush of pain, but it would happen. You couldn't live for very long without a heart.”
― Jodi Picoult

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“در این سرای بی كسی كسی به در نمی زند
به دشت پر ملال ما پرنده پر نمی زند

یكی زشب گرفتگان چراغ بر نمی كند
كسی به كوچه سار شب در سحر نمی زند

نشسته ام در انتظار این غبار بی سوار
دریغ كز شبی چنین سپیده سر نمی زند

دل خراب من دگر خراب تر نمی شود
كه خنجر غمت از این خراب تر نمی زند

گذر گهی است پر ستم كه اندرو به غیر غم
یكی صلای آشنا به رهگذر نمی زند

چه چشم پاسخ است از این دریچه های بسته ات
برو که هیچ کس ندا به گوش کر نمی زند

نه سایه دارم و نه بر بیفکنندم و سزاست
اگر نه بر درخت تر کسی تبر نمی زند”
― هوشنگ ابتهاج

“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
