Forugh Farrokhzad, tr. by Hasan Javadi & Susan Sallée, from Another Birth: Selected Poems of Forugh Farrokhzad; “Let us believe in the beginning of a cold season”

“Have you ever had that feeling— that you’d like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?”—
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”—
“You can be lonely even when you are loved by many people, since you are still not anybody’s one and only.”—
“Do things your future self will thank you for..”—
“There is peace even in the storm.”—
