“I lied and said I was busy.
I was busy;
but not in a way most people understand.

I was busy taking deeper breaths.
I was busy silencing irrational thoughts.
I was busy calming a racing heart.
I was busy telling myself I am okay.

Sometimes, this is my busy -
and I will not apologize for it.”
― Brittin Oakman

“If he has a conscience he will suffer for his mistake. That will be punishment as well as the prison.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

“فقال له قلبه : لا تجزع فقد ينفتح الباب ذات يوم تحية لمن يخوضون الحياة ببراءة الاطفال وطموح الملائكة.”
― نجيب محفوظ, الحرافيش

“If you think about it, an enormous amount of damage is created by the myth of utopia. There is an intrinsic feeling in nearly every person that your life could be perfect if you only had such-and-such a car of such-and-such a spouse or such-and-such a job. We believe we will be made whole by our accomplishments, our possessions, or our social status. It's written in the fabric of our DNA that life used to be beautiful and now it isn't, and if only this and if only that, it would be beautiful again.”
― Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life
