“لقد كنت قبل اليوم أنكر صاحبي .. إذا لم يكن ديني إلى دينه داني
لقد صارَ قلـبي قابلاً كلَ صُـورةٍ .. فـمرعىً لغـــــزلانٍ ودَيرٌ لرُهبـَــــانِ
ِوبيتٌ لأوثــانٍ وكعـــبةُ طـائـــفٍ .. وألـواحُ تـوراةٍ ومصـحفُ قــــــرآن
أديـنُ بدينِ الحــــبِ أنّى توجّـهـتْ .. ركـائـبهُ ، فالحبُّ ديـني وإيـمَاني”
― محيي الدين بن عربي, ترجمان الأشواق

“all I wanted was to go off to some other world, a place beyond anybody's reach. A place beyond the flow of time.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.”
― Confucius

“But irony deepens a person, helps them mature. It's the entrance to salvation on a higher plane, to a place where you can find a more universal kind of hope. That's why people enjoy reading Greek tragedies even now, why they're considered prototypical classics. I'm repeating myself, but everything in life is metaphor. People don't usually kill their father and sleep with their mother, right? In other words, we accept irony through a device called metaphor. And through that we grow and become deeper human beings.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
