“While we may judge things as good or bad, karma doesn't. It's a simple case of like gets like, the ultimate balancing act, nothing more, nothing less. And if you're deteremined to fix every situation you deem as bad, or difficult, or somehow unsavory, then you rob the person of their own chance to fix it, learn from it, or even grow from it. Some things, no matter how painful, happen for a reason. A reason you or I may not be able to grasp at first sight, not without knowing a person's entire life story—their cumulative past. And to just barge in and interfere, no matter how well-intentioned, would be akin to robbing them of their journey. Something that's better not done.”
― Alyson Noel, Shadowland

“Once you’ve lived a little you will find that whatever you send out into the world comes back to you in one way or another. It may be today, tomorrow, or years from now, but it happens; usually when you least expect it, usually in a form that’s pretty different from the original. Those coincidental moments that change your life seem random at the time but I don’t think they are. At least that’s how it’s worked out in my life. And I know I’m not the only one.”

“أحن إلى خبز أمي
وقهوة أمي ..
ولمسة أمي ..
وتكبُر في الطفولة
يوماً على صدر يوم
وأعشق عمري لأني
إذا مت،
أخجل من دمع أمي!”
― محمود درويش

“كنت أستغرب -تحديدًا- قدرتهم على الإستيقاظ من النوم، وغسل وجوههم، وتنظيف أسنانهم، وتناول طعامهم، ومن ثم التوجّه إلى عملهم أو مدارسهم أو جامعاتهم دون أن يصلّوا!
كيف يواجهون يومهم دون صلاة؟
بل كيف يواجهون حياتهم بلا صلاة!”
― أحمد خيري العمري, المهمة غير المستحيلة: الصلاة بوصفها أداة لإعادة بناء العالم
