“I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”

“ما أحمق الإنسان ! يجعل من حياته سلسلة مسببات للحزن. يحزن لأوهي الاسباب وأتفه العلات .. في دنيا ليس بها ما يستحق الحزن .. إنسان تافه في دنيا تافهة .. يحزن المرء لأن بقعة حبر قد سقطت علي ثوبه الأبيض فأتلفته، ولو تذكر عندما أصابه الحزن علي ثوبه أنه ليس أسهل من أن يطوي هو وثوبه الأبيض تحت عجلات الترام، ليغرق ثوبه بالحبر وهو هانىء سعيد.يحزن المرء لأنه غلب في صفقة أو أن البائع قد خدعه في بضعة قروش، ولو علم ان جرثومة صغيرة قد تسلبه عشرات الجنيهات لكي ينجو من مرضها لما أحزنته قروشه الضائعة. يحزن المرء إذا فقد متعة من المتع ، ولو دري أنه في غمضة عين قد يفقد نفسه .. لما أسف علي متعة زالت.”

“عاشر الزمان وجها لوجه بلا شريك. بلا ملهاة ولا مخدر. واجهه في جموده وتوقفه وثقله. إنه شيء عنيد ثابت كثيف وهو الذي يتحرك في ثناياه كما يتحرك النائم في كابوس. إنه جدار غليظ مرهق متجهم. غير محتمل إذا انفرد بمعزل عن الناس والعمل. كأننا لا نعمل ولا نصادق ولا نحب ولا نلهو إلا فرارا من الزمن. الشكوى من قصره ومروره أرحم من الشكوى من توقفه.”

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”
