Forough Farrokhzad Quotes & Sayings

Life is perhaps lighting up a cigarette
in the narcotic repose between two love-makings
or the absent gaze of a passerby
who takes off his hat to another passerby
with a meaningless smile and a good morning — Forough Farrokhzad

Life is perhaps that enclosed moment
when my gaze destroys itself in the pupil of your eyes
and it is in the feeling
which I will put into the Moon's impression
and the Night's perception. — Forough Farrokhzad

O, you the goldfish of
the swamp of my blood.
Let your drunkenness be pretty.
You are drinking me. — Forough Farrokhzad
