“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities, but of their advantages”

“لقد كنت قبل اليوم أنكر صاحبي .. إذا لم يكن ديني إلى دينه داني
لقد صارَ قلـبي قابلاً كلَ صُـورةٍ .. فـمرعىً لغـــــزلانٍ ودَيرٌ لرُهبـَــــانِ
ِوبيتٌ لأوثــانٍ وكعـــبةُ طـائـــفٍ .. وألـواحُ تـوراةٍ ومصـحفُ قــــــرآن
أديـنُ بدينِ الحــــبِ أنّى توجّـهـتْ .. ركـائـبهُ ، فالحبُّ ديـني وإيـمَاني”
― محيي الدين بن عربي, ترجمان الأشواق

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”
― Terence McKenna

“The fact that our heart yearns for something Earth can't supply is proof that Heaven must be our home.”
