“Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.”
― Hannah Arendt

“I'd rather die deceived by dreams than give
My heart to home and trade and never live.”
― Farīd al-Dīn ʻAṭṭār, The Conference of the Birds

“The home we seek is in eternity;
The Truth we seek is like a shoreless sea,
Of which your paradise is but a drop.
This ocean can be yours; why should you stop
Beguiled by dreams of evanescent dew?
The secrets of the sun are yours, but you
Content yourself with motes trapped in its beams.
Turn to what truly lives, reject what seems --
Which matters more, the body or the soul?
Be whole: desire and journey to the Whole.”
― Attar of Nishapur

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Life of the Mind
