― George Orwell, 1984

“You have learnt so much
And read a thousand books.
Have you ever read your Self?
You have gone to mosques and temples.
Have you ever visited your soul?
You are busy fighting Satan.
Have you ever fought your
Ill intentions?
You have reached into the skies,
But you have failed to reach
What's in your heart!”
― Bulleh Shah, Sufi Lyrics

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“My whole life has been pledged to this meeting with you...”
― Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin
