“I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.”

“لهذا عليّ أن أعود
إلى أماكن كثيرة آتية
لألتقي بي
وأتفحصني دون توقف.
دون شاهد سوى القمر،
ثم لأصفّر بسعادة
واطئاً أحجاراً وأتربة.
دون مهمة أخرى سوى الحياة.
ودون أسرة سوى الطريق”

“Why should I wish to see God better than this day?
I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then,
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass;
I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God's name,
And I leave them where they are,
for I know that others will punctually come forever and ever.”
― Leaves of Grass

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
