"یک اثر کلاسیک، کلاسیک نیست به خاطر اینکه از قوانین ساختاری خاصی پیروی می‌کند یا در تعاریف خاصی قرار می‌گیرد."

Ezra Pound

Simplified Meaning:

A classic book, film, or piece of music becomes well-known and loved not because it follows all the rules or fits a specific category, but because it has something special, unique, and lasting. Think of a famous painting like the "Mona Lisa." The Mona Lisa isn't famous just because it follows certain art techniques; rather, it captivates people with her mysterious smile and beauty. That special quality keeps people talking about it for many generations. In our everyday lives, we might think of a classic like a favorite family recipe – it’s the way grandma used to make it, and it's cherished not for its gourmet quality but because it reminds us of home and love. When thinking about things and people that stand the test of time, remember that it’s often their unique qualities and the feelings they evoke that matter most. This idea encourages us to value originality and the emotional connections we make with things, rather than just their adherence to rules or standards.
