“Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“My unhappiness was something deep inside me, and when i closed my eyes i could even see it. it sat somehwere - maybe in my belly, maybe in my heart; i could not exactly tell - and it took the shape of a small black ball, all wrapped up in cobwebs. i would look at it and look at it until i had burned the cobwebs away, and then i would see that the ball was no bigger than a thimble, even though it weighed worlds. at that moment, just when i saw its size and felt its weight, i was beyond feeling sorry for myself, which is to say i was beyond tears. i could only just sit and look at myself, feeling like the oldest person who had ever lived and who had not learned a single thing.”
― Jamaica Kincaid, Annie John

“كلّما أقبلت على الله خاشعة. صَغُرَ كلّ شيء حولك و في قلبك. فكلّ تكبيرة بين يدي الله تعيد ما عداه إلى حجمه الأصغر. تذكّرك أن لا جبار إلّا الله، و أنّ كلّ رجل متجبّر، حتى في حبّه، هو رجل قليل الإيمان متكبّر. فالمؤمن رحوم حنون بطبعه لأنّه يخاف الله.ـ”
