“I believe there is something of the divine mystery in everything that exists. We can see it sparkle in a sunflower or a poppy. We sense more of the unfathomable mystery in a butterfly that flutters from a twig--or in a goldfish swimming in a bowl. But we are closest to God in our own soul. Only there can we become one with the greatest mystery of life. In truth, at very rare moments we can experience that we ourselves are that divine mystery.”

“A joker is a little fool who is different from everyone else. He's not a club, diamond, heart, or spade. He's not an eight or a nine, a king or a jack. He is an outsider. He is placed in the same pack as the other cards, but he doesn't belong there. Therefore, he can be removed without anybody missing him.”
― Jostein Gaarder, The Solitaire Mystery

“ربما كنا ننشغل طول النهار بما يمر بنا من أحداث ، فلا يبقى في رؤسنا مكان للأحلام
فمن الصعب أن نتذكر أحلامنا ، كصعوبة أن نمسك طائرًا بيدينا
لكن أحيانًا نتذكرها ، كما يحدث أحيانًا أن يأتي إليك الطائر ويقف على كتفك بكامل حريته واختياره”
― Jostein Gaarder, مرحبا... هل من أحد هناك؟
