Burning House Quotes

“I carry a torch in one hand
And a bucket of water in the other:
With these things I am going to set fire to Heaven
And put out the flames of Hell
So that voyagers to God can rip the veils
And see the real goal.”
― rabiah al adawiyah

― Shannon Celebi

“There’s no neutrality in a burning house. Silence may feel safe, but it still smells of smoke.”
― Lawrence Nault
