“Dying isn’t like living; it requires no effort at all.”
“I have found that living with faith in an unseen world requires constant effort.”
“The world, finally, is no longer large, and to ignore it likely requires more effort than to simply take notice.”
“If a man hasn’t found something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”
“Every living thing requires love to survive for without it, we die.”
“I am bothered by a pain which isn’t mine I lived in a land which isn’t mine I have lived with a name which isn’t mine I have wept of grief which isn’t mine I was born out of joy which isn’t mine I die a death which isn’t mine. Ahmad Shamlu”
