“إن أهل الشرائع أخذوا الدين عن رؤسائهم بالتقليد، ودفعوا النظر والبحث عن الأصول، وشدّدوا فيه ونهوا عنه، ورووا عن رؤسائهم أخبارا توجب عليهم ترك النظر ديانة، وتوجب الكفر على من خالف الأخبار التي رووها... إن سئل أهل هذه الدعوى عن الدليل على صحّة دعواهم، استطاروا غضبا، وهدروا دم من يطالبهم بذلك، ونهوا عن النظر، وحرضوا على قتل مخالفيهم. فمن أجل ذلك اندفن الحقّ أشدّ اندفان، وانكتم أشدّ انكتام" - أبو بكر الرازي”

“I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came.

“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
― Tao Te Ching
