“Not knowing is a good place to start.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“I marveled at the beauty of all life and savored the power and possibilities of my imagination. In these rare moments, I prayed, I danced, and I analyzed. I saw that life was good and bad, beautiful and ugly. I understood that I had to dwell on the good and beautiful in order to keep my imagination, sensitivity, and gratitude intact. I knew it would not be easy to maintain this perspective. I knew I would often twist and turn, bend and crack a little, but I also knew that…I would never completely break.”
― Maria Nhambu, Africa's Child

“ألقِ نفْسَكَ في نهر العشق ، حتى وإن كان نهرًا من الدماء”
― جلال الدين الرومي

“And in the cave there lived a wicked old witch.

Did she ever come out?

Not yet.”
