“وارحمتاه لكم يا شباب هذا الجيل ... أنتم المخضرمون بين مدرسة الإيمان من طريق النقل، و مدرسة الإدراك من طريق العقل. تلوكون قشوراً من الدين، و قشوراً من الفسلفة، فيقوم فى عقولكم، أن الإيمان و الفلسلفة لا يجتمعان، و أن العقل و الدين لا يأتلفان، و أن الفلسفة سبيل الإلحاد ... و ما هى كذلك يا ولدى، بل هى سبيل للإيمان بالله، من طريق العقل، الذى بُنى عليه الإيمان كله. و لكن الفلسفة يا بنى بحر على خلاف البحور يجد راكبه الخطر و الزيغ فى سواحله و شطاَنه و الأمان و الإيمان فى لُججه و أعماقه ...

مولانا الشيخ الموزون لـ حيران الأضعف البنجابى”
― نديم الجسر, قصة الإيمان: بين الفلسفة والعلم والقرآن

“Imagine all the people you meet in your life. There are so many. They come in like waves, trickling in and out with the tide. Some waves are much bigger and make more of an impact than others. Sometimes the waves bring with them things from deep in the bottom of the sea and they leave those things tossed onto the shore. Imprints against the grains of sand that prove the waves had once been there, long after the tide recedes. That was what Atlas was telling me when he said “I love you.” He was letting me know that I was the biggest wave he’d ever come across. And I brought so much with me that my impressions would always be there, even when the tide rolled out.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“Just because we didn’t end up on the same wave, doesn’t mean we aren’t still a part of the same ocean.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“All humans make mistakes. What determines a person's character aren't the mistakes we make. It's how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“Just because someone hurts you doesn't mean you can simply stop loving them. It's not a person's actions that hurt the most. It's the love. If there was no love attached to the action, the pain would be a little easier to bear.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“I believe people try to make others feel inferior so they can feel superior. Whether this is because of race, color, or anything else doesn’t matter; they cause the same thing. Prejudice is actually a sign of weakness and insecurity, and it comes from doubts of one’s own adequacy.”
― John Kaniecki

“Fate doesn’t guarantee us a happy ending. We’re not promised to be together no matter what. But in dimension after dimension, world after world, fate gives us a chance. Our destiny isn’t some kind of mystical prophecy. Our destiny is what we do with that chance.”
― Claudia Gray, A Million Worlds with You

“I’m forcing us both to confront the fact that one of our most beautiful dreams was a lie. We both believed in destiny as a kind of guarantee—a promise from the cosmos that we would have our time together in virtually every world we shared. But now I see that believing only in destiny means giving up responsibility. We fooled ourselves into thinking happiness was a gift we would be given time and time again. It’s so much scarier to admit that our lives are in our own flawed, fallible hands. Our futures are not kept safe for us in the cradle of fate. We have to hack them out of stone, dig them out of mud, and build them one messy, imperfect day at a time.”
― Claudia Gray, A Million Worlds with You

“I meant it when I said I didn’t believe in love at first sight. It takes time to really, truly fall for someone. Yet I believe in a moment. A moment when you glimpse the truth within someone, and they glimpse the truth within you. In that moment, you don’t belong to yourself any longer, not completely. Part of you belongs to him; part of him belongs to you. After that, you can’t take it back, no matter how much you want to, no matter how hard you try.”
― Claudia Gray, A Thousand Pieces of You

“This, I think, is the boundary line of adulthood. Not the crap they claim it is- graduating from high school or losing your virginity or getting your first apartment or whatever. You cross the boundary the first time you're changed forever. You cross it the first time you know you can never go back.”
― Claudia Gray, A Thousand Pieces of You

“I see... the way you're always searching. How much you hate anything fake or phony. How you're older than your years, but still... playful, like a little girl. How you're always looking into people, or wondering what they see when they look back at you. Your eyes. It's all in the eyes.”
― Claudia Gray, A Thousand Pieces of You

“Stop measuring yourself against us. It’s not the right scale. You have your own gifts, your own talents. Show the world everything you’re capable of, Marguerite. You don’t even see how amazing you are.”
― Claudia Gray, Ten Thousand Skies Above You

“كان الصبر هو صبر المواجهة ، صبر التحدي ، صبر التغيير ، صبر أولي العزم من الرسل الذين غيروا وكافحوا وجاهدوا وتركوا بصمات بل آثارا لا تنسى على وجه الحضارة الإنسانية..

إنه صبر الفعل والمفاعلة والتفعيل.. الصبر على ذلك كله وفي أثناء ذلك كله..

إنه الصبر البناء.. الذي يبني الفرد والأمة.”
― أحمد خيري العمري, البوصلة القرآنية

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Watching someone in the throes of raw grief is a terrible thing; the act of watching feels violent, intrusive, a violation. Yet we do it, we have to do it, all the time; you just have to learn to cope with it whatever way you can.”
― Paula Hawkins, Into the Water

“The river can go back over the past and bring it all up and spit it out on the banks in full view of everyone, but people can’t.”
― Paula Hawkins, Into the Water

“ابدأ بنفسك … حاول أن تصلح ذاتك بدلاً من أن تجلس علي كرسي الفتاوي و تتهم الآخرين …”
― مصطفى محمود, السؤال الحائر

“الحب الحقيقي هو المودة و الرحمة و هو عطاء الفطرة الذي لا تكلف فيه و لا صنعة و لا احتراف .. و هو صفة النفوس الخيرة و خلة الأبرار الأخيار من الرجال و النساء .. و هو لا يوجد إلا في البيوت الطيبة التي ليس لها سيرة ولا تحكى عنها قصص ولا أخبار.”
― مصطفى محمود, السؤال الحائر

“و فوق كل شي .. العقل البشري .. الجوهره الحقيقيه و الطاقه المبدعه الخلاقه التي تصنع منها بانطلاقها كل شي ..”
― مصطفى محمود, السؤال الحائر

“Critical thinking is essential to make sense of our world, especially with advertisers and politicians all telling us loudly that they know best. We need to be able to look at the evidence and work out whether we agree with them.”
― Helen Czerski, Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life

“I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;—it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
