“Ironically, the parents who have been plagued by the most problems in their own marriage are often the most insistent on directing the marriage of their children. It is as if they attempt to compensate for their failures.”
― Khaled Abou El Fadl, The Search for Beauty in Islam: A Conference of the Books

“Give a man love and he will trade his crown for a kiss. Break a man's heart and he will raise empires from the ashes of his pain. Affection makes a man soft. Betrayal sharpens him into steel. When he is adored, he lives for another. When he is abandoned, he lives for himself. Love chains a man to comfort, but heartbreak hurls him into war with destiny itself, for every scar he carries becomes a lesson, and every betrayal plants the seed of strategy. A broken man is dangerous, for he no longer fears loss, he is already lost. His tears dry into fire. His silence hardens into strategy, and his wounds become maps that guide him to power. Remember this: kingdoms are not built by the satisfied, but by the forsaken. The man who survives heartbreak does not merely recover. He returns as a conqueror, demanding the world that once denied him.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Male masturbation is not a release, it is a squandering. Anyone who begins to no-fap will soon discover this. Like most things, we have been taught the inverted truth. Abstinence leads to increased testosterone which improves our moods, our sleep, and our motivation.”
