by Hamed Rahmati

“از این فاصله زنی رامی بینیم
که دربالکن ایستاد
ودرشلال موهایش
آفتاب راخشک کرد
وبوی موهایش
هفت کوچه آن طرف تر
دربازارپیچید

بازار
درموهای زن پیچید
وعطاری ها
اجناس خودراگران کردند”

M Is for Magic

by Neil Gaiman
- Rated 3 stars
“It is not that I was credulous,simply that I believed in all things dark and dangerous.It was part of my young creed that the night was full of ghosts and witches,hungry and flapping and dressed completely in black.
The converse held reassuringly true:daylight was safe.Daylight was always safe.”

Love in the Time of Cholera

by Gabriel García Márquez
- Rated 4 stars
“We men are the miserable slaves of prejudice,but when a woman decides to sleep with a man,there is no wall she will not scale,no fortress she will not destroy,no mortal consideration she will not ignore at its very root:there is no God worth worrying about.”

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

by Milan Kundera
- Rated 4 stars
“But is not an event in fact more significant and noteworthy the greater the number of fortuities necessary to bring it about? Chance and chance alone has a message for us.Everything that occurs out of necessity,everything expected,repeated day in and day out,is mute.Only chance can speak to us.We read its message much as gypsies read the images made by coffee grounds at the bottom of a cup.”

“من وقتی چیزی رامی خوانم درواقع نمی خوانم.جمله ای زیبارابه دهان می اندازم ومثل آب نبات می مکم یامثل لیکوری می نوشم تا آنکه اندیشه مثل الکل دروجودمن حل شود تا دردلم نفوذکندودر رگهایم جاری شودوبه ریشه ی هرگلبول خونی برسد”
