    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “ﻟﻠﻤﺮﺃﺓ ﺣﻀﻮﺭ خفي .. لا يراه ويهتدي به إلا رجل متفتح عارف.
    فهناك ﻧﻮﻉ ﺁﺧﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺮﺟﺎﻝ .. ﺑﺪﺍﺧﻠﻬﻢ ﺣﻴﻮﺍﻥ ﻣﺤﺒﻮﺱ!
    ليت هؤلاء ﻳﻘﻮّﻣﻮﻥ ﺃﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ ﺃﻭﻻ‌ ..
    ليتهم يعرفون أن ﺍﻟﻤﺤﺒﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺘﻔﻬﻢ ﻫﻲ ﻣﺎ ﺗﺠﻌﻠﻨﺎ ﺑﺸﺮﺍ ، ﺃﻣﺎ ﺍلشهوة ﻭﺍﻟﺤﻤّﻴﺔ .. ﻓﻼ‌ !

    فرﺑﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﺍﻟﻤﺮﺃﺓ ﻧﻮﺭﺍ ﻣﻦ نور ﺍﻟﻠﻪ .. ﺭﺑﻤﺎ ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﺧﻼ‌ﻗﺔ ﻭﻟﻴﺴﺖ ﻣﺨﻠﻮﻗﺔ،
    ﺭﺑﻤﺎ ﻫﻲ ﻟﻴﺴﺖ ﻣﺠﺮﺩ ﺫﻟﻚ ﺍﻟﺸﻜﻞ ﺍﻷ‌ﻧﺜﻮﻱ ﺍﻟﻨﺎﻋﻢ ﺍﻟﺬﻱ ﺗﺮﺍﻩ !”

    Dalai Lama XIV
    “Is this what you have in mind,' I asked the Dalai Lama, 'when you say in teachings that the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the world are the most selfish beings of all, that by cultivating altruism they actually achieve ultimate happiness for themselves?'

    Yes. That's wise selfish,' he replied. 'Helping others not means we do this at our own expense. Not like this. Buddhas and bodhisattvas, these people very wise. All their lives they only want one thing: to achieve ultimate happiness. How to do this? By cultivating compassion, by cultivating altruism.”
    ― Dalai Lama XIV, The Wisdom of Forgiveness: Intimate Conversations and Journeys
