“i took my shadow and left
wanting it to be night in me
yet you refused my undoing
asking for light
always more light!
to love is to be changed
with you i grew into my self
when i say you’re my other me
it is an injustice
for you were always my potential”

“What do we know of the man
who passes us in the street?
Do we notice his multitudes
— the million masterpieces of his mind?
There aren’t enough years to really know someone.
He has already changed in the passing.
Come, it is getting late.
Let me share my infinite selves.”

Quotes by Kamand Kojouri  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally.”
Kamand Kojouri

“They want us to be afraid.
They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes.
They want us to barricade our doors
and hide our children.
Their aim is to make us fear life itself!
They want us to hate.
They want us to hate 'the other'.
They want us to practice aggression
and perfect antagonism.
Their aim is to divide us all!
They want us to be inhuman.
They want us to throw out our kindness.
They want us to bury our love
and burn our hope.
Their aim is to take all our light!
They think their bricked walls
will separate us.
They think their damned bombs
will defeat us.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that my soul and your soul are old friends.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that when they cut you I bleed.
They are so ignorant they don’t understand
that we will never be afraid,
we will never hate
and we will never be silent
for life is ours!”
Kamand Kojouri

“Come, friends.
Come with your grief.
Come with your loss.
Carry all the pieces of your heart
and come sit with us.
Bring your disappointments
and your failures.
Bring your betrayals
and your masks.
We welcome you no matter
where you come from
and what you bring.
Come and join us
at the intersection of
acceptance and forgiveness
where you will find our
house of love.
Bring your empty cups
and we will have a feast.”
Kamand Kojouri

“The reason as to why we are attracted to our opposites is because they are our salvation from the burden of being ourselves.”
Kamand Kojouri

“You have no choice. You must leave your ego on the doorstep before you enter love.”
Kamand Kojouri
