“كل شيئ يحدث في حياتك فأنت من قمت بجذبه إلى حياتك, وقد انجذب إليك عن طريق الصور التي احتفظت بها في عقلك, أي ما تفكر فيه. فأيّاً كان الشيء الذي يدور بعقلك فإنك تجذبه إليك”
― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

“Nature's silence is its one remark, and every flake of world is a chip off that old mute and immutable block.”
