“من مخالف ادب بچه نیستم، مخالف پاکیزگی یا علم نیستم، اما سوال اصلی این است :(( از چه شیوه هایی برای رسیدن به این منظورها استفاده می شود؟)) اگر شیوه ها عبارت باشند از ناسزا، حمله و تهدید، مطمئن باشید که ما نیز، برای سازگاری با محیط، به کودک ناسزا، حمله و تهدید را آموخته ایم. در عوض اگر شیوه های انسانی را به آنها بیاموزیم، چیزی به مراتب والاتر از محاسن انتزاعی به آنها یاد داده ایم. ما به بچه می آموزیم چگونه یک انسان باشد، انسانی که بتواند در زندگی، با قدرت و شأن انسان حرکت کند.”

“During the brief war with Iran, I found myself several times trapped in the neighborhood bomb shelter with people I barely knew. It was stressful. The missiles were frightening, but there was something straightforward and clear about them. People, on the other hand, are a lot more ambiguous and confusing, especially when they’re crammed into a small, closed space, listening to sirens and explosions on the other side of a concrete wall. But the explosive reality outside the shelter was soon forgotten, replaced by an unpleasant group dynamic that reminded me of a bad high school field trip: Who ends up sitting in the unsafe spot right opposite the door? When are we allowed to open it and leave? How do I get away from the sweaty neighbor who keeps checking his WhatsApp updates? And how the hell do you explain to the sad French Bulldog who’s in love with your left leg that you’re a happily married man? And yet all these worries, exasperating though they are, pale in comparison with the one really important question: When the missile attack finally ends and we open that steel door, what kind of world will be waiting for us out there?”

“Così è successo questo fatto. Ora non lo trovi affatto strano, a pensarvi, ma naturale di quella naturalezza che una volta dev'esserci stata tra gli uomini. Dopo la prima sorpresa tutti i miei gesti furono naturali, non sentivo nessun timore, né alcun desiderio di difendermi o di offendere. Era una cosa molto semplice. Anche i russi erano come me, lo sentivo. In quell'isba si era creata tra me e i soldati russi, le donne e i bambini un'armonia che non era un armistizio. Era qualcosa di molto più del rispetto che gli animali della foresta hanno l'uno per l'altro.”

“Quelle chimère est-ce donc que l’homme ? Quelle nouveauté, quel monstre, quel chaos, quel sujet de contradiction, quel prodige ! Juge de toutes choses, imbécile ver de terre, dépositaire du vrai, cloaque d’incertitude et d’erreur: gloire et rebut de l’univers.” “What a chimera is man! what a confused chaos! what a subject of contradiction! a professed judge of all things, and yet a feeble worm of the earth! the great depository and guardian of truth, and yet a mere huddle of uncertainty! the glory and the scandal of the universe!” -excerpt from note 434”
