Ahmed

“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

“God is with the broken-hearted. When your heart breaks, it's a good thing - the breaking of the heart is what opens it up to the light of Allah. The dunya is designed to break your heart, so crush it.”
― Sheikh Hamza Yusuf

“In the realm of ideas, everything depends on enthusiasm. ... In the real world, all rests on perseverance.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Originality is the best form of rebellion.”
― Mike Sasso, Being Human: Everything you didn't want to know about life.
