“Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received — hatred. The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.”
― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“الإيمان بالله هو انقتاح كامل, تسليم مطلق, ثقه عميقه, فعل حب حر, لكن أحياناً كان من شبه المستحيل أن أشعر بالحب. أحياناً كان قلبي يغرق بسرعة بالغضب, و الإحباط و القلق, كنت أخشى أن يغرق إيماني في قاع المحيط الهادئ فلا يعود بإمكاني انشاله”
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“What do I do next?'
'Maybe it's your time to wait too.' She dug the heels of her boots firmly into the ground and set her shoulders more stiffly against the sea breeze. 'Love is an action you must repeat ceaselessly.”
