    “Emily kept telling herself this was inevitable, that it was why she’d come to Ireland: to see what her dreams led to. But seeing the man caused goosebumps to rise up on her skin, as if she were seeing a ghost. Her extremities began to tingle, and she felt the blood draining from her face.”

    Author Harold Phifer
    “The teacher pulled out a pile of papers. They were Bennie’s tests and homework assignments. Mrs. Lewis said, “Ma’am, here is the proof that Bennie isn’t up to a fourth grade level. He has an F on several of these assignments. In fact, a zero grade is too high for some of Bennie’s work this last year.”

    Paramahansa Yogananda
    “We are all made in the image of God, beings of immortal consciousness cloaked in diaphanous heavenly light—a heritage buried beneath the cloddish flesh. That heritage we can only acknowledge by meditation. There is no other way—not by reading books, not by philosophical study, but by devotion and continuous prayer and scientific meditation that uplifts the consciousness to God.”
    ― Paramahansa Yogananda, The Yoga of Jesus: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels

    Jostein Gaarder
    “ربما كانت هناك طرق كثيره للصعود من الوادي إلى قمة الجبل.. لكن الجبل سيظل دائماً الجبل نفسه, لا يتغير أبداً.. و لابد أن يكون بيني و بينك تشابه كبير حتى نستطيع الوصول إلى قمة الجبل... فمثلاً, لابد أن يكون كل منا من متسلقي الجبال و هناك على القمه.. قد نبني معاً بنياناً ضخماً من الحجاره.. ثم نجلس لنرتاح عليه قليلاً بعد هذا الجهد الذي بذلناه... و ننسى و لو لفتره قصيره همومنا كلها كبيرها و صغيرها..كأننا تركناها كلها وراءنا في الوادي
    قلت: هل تعني أننا قد التقينا على الجبل نفسه.. مع إنني أتيت من كوكب و أتيت أنت من كوكب آخر؟

    فأومأ برأسه موافقاً و قال: لا يهم اختلاف المكان الذي انطلقنا منه.. إنما المهم حقاً, هو الهدف الذي نسعى إليه”
    ― Jostein Gaarder, Hello? Is Anybody There?
