Quote by Naomi Novik

“But she hadn't been able to take root. She'd remembered the wrong things, and forgotten too much. She'd remembered how to kill and how to hate, and she'd forgotten how to grow.”

“به کجا چنین شتابان؟ گون از نسیم پرسید - دل من گرفته زین جا هوس سفر نداری ز غبار این بیابان؟ - همه آرزویم اما چه کنم که بسته پایم. به کجا چنین شتابان؟ - به هر آن کجا که باشد به جز این سرا، سرایم - سفرت به خیر اما تو و دوستی، خدا را چو از این کویر وحشت به سلامتی گذشتی به شکوفه‌ها، به باران برسان سلام ما را”

“She was a very pretty woman. She had dark red hair and her eyes -- her eyes are just like mine, Harry thought, edging a little closer to the glass. Bright green -- exactly the same shape, but then he noticed that she was crying; smiling, but crying at the same time. The tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm around her. He wore glasses, and his hair was very untidy. It stuck up at the back, just like Harry's did. Harry was so close to the mirror now that his nose was nearly touching that of his reflection. "Mum?" he whispered. "Dad?" They just looked at him, smiling. And slowly, Harry looked into the faces of the other people in the mirror and saw other pairs of green eyes like his, other noses like his, even a little old man who looked as though he had Harry's knobbly knees -- Harry was looking at his family, for the first time in his life. The Potters smiled and waved at Harry and he stared hungrily back at them, his hands pressed flat against the glass as though he was hoping to fall right through it and reach them. He had a powerful kind of ache inside of him, half joy, half terrible sadness.”
