The presence of death annihilates all superstitions. We are the children of death, and it is death that rescues us from the deceptions of life. In the midst of life he calls us and summons us to him.

More quotes by Sadegh Hedayat
Ugh! How many stories about love, copulation, marriage and death already exist, not one of which tells the truth! How sick I am of well-constructed plots and brilliant writing!
Sadegh Hedayat
I write only for my shadow which is cast on the wall in front of the light. I must introduce myself to it.
Sadegh Hedayat
If there was no death, everyone would wish for it.
Sadegh Hedayat
[Death is] the best asylum for pains and sorrows and troubles and the injustices of life.
Sadegh Hedayat
I thought to myself: if it’s true that every person has a star in the sky, mine must be distant, dim, and absurd. Perhaps I never had a star.
