“From the will of a freedom-fighter, Farzad Kamangar: "Is it possible to be a teacher and not show the path to the sea to the little fish of the country? Is it possible to carry the heavy burden of being a teacher and be responsible for spreading the seeds of knowledge and still be silent? Is it possible to see the lumps in the throats of the students and witness their thin and malnourished faces and keep quiet? … I cannot imagine witnessing the pain and poverty of the people of this land and fail to give our hearts to the river and the sea, to the roar and the flood.”

“الآن أقولها بالطريقة العشوائية .. العبث الممدد بين ذرات الهواء .. الرياح .. الضوء .. لوحتى الفنية بين أضواء الغروب البنفسجية .. الزرقاء .. و الصفراء.. الوردية .. أكمل هذه الرحلة .. بطيرانى .. و السحب التى ترسم أحلامى التلقائية .. قد هبط سقف الصبر عندي .. لكن الأمل بلغ العنان .. و علت دعواتى التى تردد صداها في كل الوديان”

“The late-modern achievement-subject does not pursue works of duty. Its maxims are not obedience, law, and the fulfillment of obligation, but rather freedom, pleasure, and inclination. Above all, it expects the profits of enjoyment from work. It works for pleasure and does not act at the behest of the Other. Instead, it hearkens mainly to itself. After all, it must be a self-starting entrepreneur”
