سراب تاج و فریب شکوه سلطنت پهلوی در ایران الفارسية 1447

“The deception of splendor and the temptation of salvation are two sides of the same coin. Splendor is a tree that dazzles the eye so that the wounds of hidden layers remain unseen. The temptation of salvation is a force that pulls hands toward that same brilliance without reflecting on its costs. If this text can, between these two poles, lead an unbiased reader — even the prince himself — to pause for a moment, to hesitate for a moment, and to question the optimistic assumption of infallibility, then it has fulfilled its mission along this dark path; for the future cannot be built upon a mirage, even if a golden crown rests upon its head.”
