NADEREH ABDELAHYEVA in The Silence (dir. Mohsen Makhmalbaf, 1998, Iran, Tajikistan, France)
“Makhmalbaf has said that this scene was inspired by a poem of Forugh Farrokhzad (the popular female poet who died in 1967). Eric Egan has located this poem in which there is a movement from ‘the girl who coloured her cheeks with geranium petals’ to ‘a lonely woman.’ However, it seems that Makhmalbaf remains with the young girl who decorates herself, and who is still in the garden, enjoying paradise. She is not yet ‘a lonely woman’, rather she is enjoying the moment and celebrating life…” [Lloyd Ridgeon, “Listening for an ‘Authentic’ Iran: Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s The Silence/Sokut]

When Franz Kafka said You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love, and Richard Jackson said It was a mistake to keep this single knife in my heart so long, but it is my knife, and my heart, too.

You know what it’s like to finally meet someone your age who gets you? Love, it’s not finding your perfect half. It’s the trying, and reaching, and falling.

Today's dark cloud is why do we compare ourselves to others when all it does is make us feel like we are nothing but that's not true we are capable of doing so much in our own way but knowing that doesn't help sometimes ... These insecurities eat us alive day by day ,we are stuck on thoughts of what others do? how do they do it ? Rather than what should we do and how should we do it . All these thoughts are about them and they, when it should be about ourselves and should learn from people's achievements, inspire ourselves through their work and not hate them for their success.
