“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 ...

“I’m a sociable introvert. I enjoy coffee dates and Christmas parties and weddings and neighborhood picnics. I love noisy family dinners and hosting playdates and chatting with other parents on the baseball sidelines. I get a little restless when I don’t get regular doses of social interaction. But when I get out of balance—when I spend too much time extraverting, according to my personal definition of “too much”—I am useless. When I ignore the warning signs and keep extraverting until I enter the Overtalked Introvert Danger Zone, I get totally overwhelmed and borderline rude and can barely string sentences together. I wish I were exaggerating.”

I'd be soaring in flight.”
