“I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice.

― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

“There are ultimately only two possible adjustments to life; one is to suit our lives to principles; the other is to suit principles to our lives.

― Fulton J. Sheen

“People say to you, ‘you’ve changed’, or something like that, well, I hope, for the sake of God that you have changed, because I don’t want to be the same person all my life. I want to be growing, I want to be expanding. I want to be changing. Because animate things change, inanimate things don’t change. Dead things don’t change. And the heart should be alive, it should be changing, it should be moving, it should be growing, its knowledge should be expanding.”
― Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
