“وقد زعموا أن المحب إذا دنا, يَملُّ وَأنَّ النَّأْيَ يَشْفِي مِنَ الْوَجْدِ
بَكُلٍّ تدَاوَيْنَا فلمْ يُشْفَ ما بِنَا, على أنَّ قُرْبَ الدَّارِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْبُعْدِ
على أَنَّ قُرْبَ الدَّارِ ليسَ بِنافِعٍ, إذا كان مَنْ تَهْواهُ ليس بِذي وُدِّ!”
― قيس بن الملوح, ديوان قيس بن الملوح: مجنون ليلى

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Water is the driving force of all nature.”
― Leonardo da Vinci

“While I used to get angry and frustrated at people because of the choices they made, I came to realize that they weren’t intentionally acting in a way that seemed counterproductive; they were just living out things as they saw them, based on how their brains worked.”
