“Johanna sat by the fire every night and worked on her tapestry. Dumfries waited until she was settled in her chair and then draped himself across her feet. It became a ritual for Alex to squeeze himself up next to her and fall asleep during her stories about fierce warriors and fair maidens. Johanna's tales all had a unique twist, for none of the heroines she told stories about ever needed to be rescued by their knights in shining armor. More often than not, the fair maidens rescued their knights.
Gabriel couldn't take issue with his wife. She was telling Alex the truth. It was a fact that maidens could rescue mighty, arrogant warriors. Johanna had certainly rescued him from a bleak, cold existence. She'd given him a family and a home. She was his love, his joy, his companion.
She was his saving grace.”

“إن مشاهدة الفسق و المعصية على الدوام تزيل عن قلبك كراهية المعصية، و يهون عليك أمرها، و لذلك هان على القلوب معصية الغيبة لإلفهم لها، و لو رأوا خاتما من ذهب أو ملبوسا من حرير على فقيه لاشتد إنكارهم عليه، و الغيبة أشد من ذلك! ـ”
― أبو حامد الغزالي, بداية الهداية

“وعندما يتناول المرء يوم عيد الفطر أول قدح من القهوة في أول إفطار منذ 29 أو30 يوما يشعر بألذ مذاق ,وعند صلاة العيد في المسجد لا يلتقي المرء إلا بأناس تشع منهم إشراقة داخلية”
