“Holding this soft, small living creature in my lap this way, though, and seeing how it slept with complete trust in me, I felt a warm rush in my chest. I put my hand on the cat's chest and felt his heart beating. The pulse was faint and fast, but his heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small body with all the restless earnestness of my own.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”
― Rumi

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
― Rumi

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
