"When two people are enamoured by each other, the smallest suggestion, the quickest contact, the slightest glance, mean the world to them. This smile is like the wishful glimpse of a prisoner, after months of isolation in a dark and humid well, when the sun finally shines from a distance through an orifice parallel to his sight."
Bozorg Alavi December 1937
“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
Jack London
