Fyodor Dostoevsky
“The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Robin Hobb
“In that last dance of chances

I shall partner you no more.

I shall watch another turn you

As you move across the floor.


In that last dance of chances

When I bid your life goodbye

I will hope she treats you kindly.

I will hope you learn to fly.


In that last dance of chances

When I know you'll not be mine

I will let you go with longing

And the hope that you'll be fine.


In that last dance of chances

We shall know each other's minds.

We shall part with our regrets

When the tie no longer binds.”
― Robin Hobb, Fool's Fate

Umera Ahmed
“What is next to ecstasy?"
"Pain."
"What is next to pain?"
"Nothingness."
"What is next to nothingness?"
"Hell.”
― Umera Ahmed, Peer e Kamil

Umera Ahmed
“زندگی میں ھم کبھی نہ کبھی اس مقام پر آجاتے ہيں جہاں سارے رشتے ختم ہو جاتے ہيں. وہاں صرف ھم ہوتے ہيں اور اللہ ہوتا ہے. کوئ ماں باپ کوئ بہن بھائ کوئ دوست نہيں ھوتا. پھر ہمیں پتا چلتا ہے کہ ھمارے پیروں کے نيچے زمين ہے نہ ھمارے سر کے اوپر کوئ آسمان، بس صرف ايک اللہ ہے جو ہميں اس خلا ميں بھی تھامے ہوۓ ہے . پھر پتا چلتا ہے ہم زمين پر پڑی مٹی کے ڈھير ميں ايک زرے يا درخت پر لگے ہوۓ پتے سے زيادہ کی وقعت نہيں رکھتے. پھر پتا چلتا ہے کہ ہمارے ہونے يا نہ ہونے سے صرف ہميں فرق پڑتا ہے. صرف ہمارا کردار ختم ہو جاتا ہے. کاينات ميں کوئ تبديلی نہيں آتی . کسی چيز پر کوئ اثر نہيں پڑتا”
― Umera Ahmed, Peer-e-Kamil/پیر کامل

فيودور دوستويفسكي
“كان يحبها كثيرا ولكنه كان يكره ذلك الافراط السخيف في إظهار المشاعر كان يكره تلك العواطف التي تشبه عواطف العجول”
― دستويفسكي, الإخوة كارامزوف
