P085.L01

من همیشه گمان می‌کردم که خاموشی بهترین چیزها است. گمان می‌کردم که بهتر است آدم مثل بوتیمار کنار دریا بال و پر خود را بگستراند و تنها بنشیند.

I always thought that silence was the best of things. I thought that it was better for a person, like the butimar beside the sea, to spread his wings and sit alone.
