"To Forget, To Forget ...", Vahan Teryan (translated By Tathev Simonyan)

I cannot express how much I adore dappled shadows formed by sunlight in paintings and photography and in real life

"Unexpected Storm", Paruyr Sevak (translated by Tathev Simonyan)

to love someone is firstly to confess: i'm prepared to be devastated by you.

“Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power — not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist.”

— bell hooks

“I never tried to be anything other than a dreamer. I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to be full of poetry. I only ever desired what was beyond my imaginings.”

— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
