“Thank God we can't tell the future. We'd never get out of bed.”

“There's a wonderful old Italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint, begging, "Dear saint-please, please, please...give me the grace to win the lottery." This lament goes on for months. Finally the exasperated staue comes to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust, "My son-please, please, please...buy a ticket."

Prayer is a realtionship; half the job is mine. If I want transformation, but can't even be bothered to articulate what, exactly, I'm ainming for, how will it ever occur? Half the benefit of prayer is in the asking itself, in the offering of a clearly posed and well-considered intention. If you don't have this, all your pleas and desires are boneless, floppy, inert; they swirl at your feet in a cold fog and never lift.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.

And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
― Neil Gaiman

“The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“You said, 'I love you.' Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to one another is still the thing we long to hear? 'I love you' is always a quotation. You did not say it first and neither did I, yet when you say it and when I say it we speak like savages who have found three words and worship them.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

“Until It’s Gone

“Isn’t it so much worse for them?”
― Lang Leav, The Universe of Us (Volume 4)

“أتعرف ما معنى الكلمة؟
مفتاح الجنة في كلمة
دخول النار على كلمه
وقضاء الله هو كلمه
الكلمة لو تعرف حرمه زاد مزخور
...
الكلمة نور ..
وبعض الكلمات قبور
وبعض الكلمات قلاع شامخة يعتصم بها النبل البشري
الكلمة فرقان بين نبي وبغي
بالكلمة تنكشف الغمة
الكلمة نور
ودليل تتبعه الأمة .
عيسى ما كان سوى كلمة
أضاء الدنيا بالكلمات وعلمها للصيادين
فساروا يهدون العالم ..
الكلمة زلزلت الظالم
الكلمة حصن الحرية
إن الكلمة مسؤولية إن الرجل هو كلمة، شرف الله هو الكلمة”
― عبد الرحمن الشرقاوي, الحسين ثائرًا. شهيدًا
