Je suis belle, ô mortels ! comme un rêve de pierre, Et mon sein, où chacun s’est meurtri tour à tour, Est fait pour inspirer au poète un amour Eternel et muet ainsi que la matière. Je trône dans l’azur comme un sphinx incompris ; J’unis un ...more

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“But that shadow has been serving you!
What hurts you, blesses you.
Darkness is your candle.
Your boundaries are your quest.

Kamel Daoud
“I didn't want to kill time. I don't like that expression. I like to look at time, follow it with my eyes, take what I can.”
Kamel Daoud, The Meursault Investigation

Julian Barnes
“You might even ask me to apply my 'theory' to myself and explain what damage I had suffered a long way back and what its consequences might be: for instance, how it might affect my reliability and truthfulness. I'm not sure I could answer this, to be honest.”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

Isaac Asimov
“When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.”
Issac Asimov

Deborah  Adele
“We are captured in a culture where our very identity is tied up with our accomplishments. We wear all we have to do like a badge on our shirt for all to see. In this rush to get to the next thing, we have left no time for ourselves to digest and assimilate our lives; this may be our biggest theft of all. We need time to catch up with ourselves. We need time to chew and ponder and allow the experiences of life to integrate within us. We need time to rest and to reflect and to contemplate.”
Deborah Adele, The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice
