“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you.

“Franny has the measles, for one thing. Incidentally, did you hear her last week? She went on at beautiful length about how she used to fly all around the apartment when she was four and no one was home. The new announcer is worse than Grant - if possible, even worse than Sullivan in the old days. He said she surely dreamt that she was able to fly. The baby stood her ground like an angel. She said she knew she was able to fly because when she came down she always had dust on her fingers from touching the light bulbs.”

― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“Don't you think I have sense enough to worry about my motives for saying the prayer? That's exactly what's bothering me so. Just because I'm choosy about what I want - in this case, enlightenment or peace, instead or money or prestige or game or any of those things, doesn't mean I'm not as egotistical and self-seeking as everybody else. If anything, I'm more so!”

“
ما مثل بچّه اي هستيم که پدرش دست او را گرفته است تا به جايي ببرد و در طول مسير از بازاري عبور مي کنند . بچّه جلب ويترين مغازه ها مي شود و دست پدر را رها مي کند و در بازار گم مي شود و وقتي متوجّه مي شود که ديگر پدر را نمي بيند ، گمان مي کند پدرش گم شده است ، در حالي که در واقع خودش گم شده است .

انبياء و اولياء پدران خلقند و دست خلايق را مي گيرند تا آنها را به سلامت از بازار دنيا عبور دهند . غالب خلايق جلب متاعهاي دنيا شده اند و دست پدر را رها کرده و در بازار دنيا گم شده اند . امام زمــــان ( ع ) گم و غائب نشده است ، ما گم و محجـــوب گشته ايم .”
― حاج ميرزا اسماعيل دولابي
