    • 1962, Jalal Al-e-Ahmad, غرب‌زدگی:
      صاحب این قلم می‌خواهد دست‌کم با شامّه‌ای تیزتر از سگ چوپان و دیدی دوربین‌تر از کلاغی، چیزی را ببیند که دیگران به غمض عین از آن درگذشته‌اند.
      sâheb-e in qalam mi-xâhad dast-e kam bâ šâmme'i tiztar az sag-e čupân va didi durbintar az kalâği, čizi râ bebinad ke digarân be ğamz-e eyn az ân dargozašte'and.
      With a sense of smell keener than that of the shepherd's dog and a vision further seeing than that of a crow, the present writer would like to at least see something to which others have turned a blind eye.
