Manal

“نبه رسول الله إلى مَعلم خطير من معالم الإيمان حين قال : " إذا سرتك حسنتك وساءتك سيئتك فأنت مؤمن " .
أجل , فإن انشراح الصدر لخير تفعله وانقباضه لسوء ترتكبه دليل على أن هناك معنى معيناً يسيطر عليك , ومقياساً خاصاً تضبط به ما تحب وما تكره من خُلق أو سلوك .
أمّا الرجل الذي يواقع الدنيا غير متأذّ بما يصدر عنه فهو رجل ميت الضمير , والضمير الميت كالجسم الميت لا يتحرك لطعنة بَله أن يهتز لوخزة !”
― محمد الغزالي, جدد حياتك

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”
― Rumi

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

“I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter.
We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves.”
― James Kavanaugh, There are men too gentle to live among wolves
