1 " This is a massive world, I think, and in each centimeter of it, a different drama unfolds every second of the day. But we live on as if the next moment in our lives will be no different than the last. How foolish we all are. "
― Mahbod Seraji , Rooftops of Tehran
2 " [America]'s higher education system is excellent, both in terms of quality and accessibility. Here anybody can go to college. Many countries simply can't accommodate many students. And by the way, most people who came here in the seventies came to get an education. They didn't wake up one morning and say, 'I'm going to America to be free.' they said, 'I'll go there to get an education.' That's an important distinction. It was only after they were here for a while that they fully appreciated the freedoms we enjoy here. "
3 " I write that crime is an unlawful act of violence that can be committed by anyone, and that punishment is the consequence designed for criminals who don't have the economic means to cover it up. Throughout history, men of wealth and power have been exempt from facing the consequences of their evil deeds. Crime, therefore, can be defined as an offense committed by an individual of inferior status in society. Punishment is a consequence forced on the perpetrator of the crime only if he occupies one of the lower steps of the social ladder "

8 " Loving is a laborious and complex business. "
9 " People do amazing things for love. Books are full of wonderful stories about this kind of stuff, and stories aren’t just fantasies, you know. They’re so much a part of the people who write them that they practically teach their readers invaluable lessons about life. "
10 " Her favorite color is blue. She says that blue is associated with vastness; the skies are blue, the oceans are blue. "
11 " Seventeen's not a good age. That's when you realize that you have a heart. That's when feelings get in the way of thinking. "
12 " - Excellent, excellent, your plan is working. -- What plan? - I ask.- The plan to make her wonder if you love her. Nothing makes a women more curios then the suspicion that she’s loved by someone. She’ll do anything to confirm it now, you see. She’ll go out of her way to find out if you really do. That’s just human nature. Who doesn’t want to be loved? - "
13 " Adımı onun ağzından işitmek nedense beni daha özel biri haline getiriyor..Omzuma dokunuyor. ” Çok duyarlısın. Senin bu yanını seviyorum.” ‘Sen’ ve ‘seviyorum’ sözcüklerini söylediği anda içimde muhteşem bir duygu geziniyor. Tanrım, keşke diğer iki sözcüğü cümlesinden atsaydı... "
14 " Vrijeme je možda najvrednija stvar koju svaki čovjek posjeduje,ali to je vrlo teško shvatiti kada prolazi sporo.Mnogo ga je lakše smatrati dragocjenim kada leti i brzo izmiče. "

19 " Pogledaj sve ovo",pokazuje rukom prema nebu."Vidiš li koliko je golemo?A ipak je uređeno,planirano?Bog je svoja pravila i zakone primijenio na sve,pa zašto bi ti bio iznimka? "
20 " ...jer bih s tobom radije u pakao nego bez tebe u raj! "
