http://wordie.org/words/elevator Comments for the word 'Elevator' http://wordie.org http://wordie.org/words/elevator#comments "I adore the <a href="/words/elevator">elevator</a>, I don't take it because I'm lazy — I meditate in it. You press the button without any effort, you go up or descend, it could even break down while you're inside. It's exactly like life, full of breakdowns. Now you're up, now you're down. I was up . . . in Paradise . . . in Shiraz, living happily with my wife and children, and now I'm down . . . in Hell, suffering from homesickness. The <a href="/words/elevator">elevator</a> is a tool for meditation."<br />- Amara Lakhous, 'The Truth According to Parviz Mansoor Samadi', translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein.
