“Sometimes when we feel empty, we don’t realize that our soul is crying out. That our heart is starving for God. Instead, we look to distract ourselves with other things, other people, other activities.”
― Yasmin Mogahed, Healing the Emptiness: A guide to emotional and spiritual well-being

“If I were a tree, I would have no reason to love a human.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

“Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“Emotions are the driving force–like the acceleration in a car. And the Aql is like the brakes. We need the acceleration to function in order to move anywhere. If the acceleration breaks down (if the person has no emotion), the car will stand still. But we also need working brakes. If we have a car with only acceleration, but no working brakes (emotional regulation/Aql), we will crash.”
