“Some of the fighters wear the best uniforms, do the best drills, but hardly anyone has seen them fighting. Some you won't even think that they are fighters, but they are the best knights on the battlefield.”
― Zain Hashmi, A Blessed Olive Tree: A Spiritual Journey in Twenty Short Stories

“remember that trying is eighty percent of doing something. So try and don't give up, because not giving up is the other twenty percent.”
― Zain Hashmi, A Blessed Olive Tree: A Spiritual Journey in Twenty Short Stories

“يحتاج اﻹنسان إلى لحظات الوحدة... يشذب أغصان ماضيه اليابسة... يتفكر فيها كيف كانت و لما زالت.. يجمعها في النهاية و يحرقها في موقدة النسيان... يبقى رمادها ذكرى في أقبية القلب.. والرائحة لا تزول !”
― فايز غازي، Fayez Ghazi

“Steppenwolf knows well enough why he is unhappy and drifting, bored and tired; it is because he will not recognize his purpose and follow it with his whole being.

‘He is resolved to forget that the desperate clinging to the self, and the desperate clinging to life are the surest way to eternal death.’ Haller knows that even when the Outsider is a universally acknowledged man of genius, it is due to ‘his immense powers of surrender and suffering, of his indifference to the ideals of the bourgeois, and of his patience under that last extremity of loneliness which rarifies the atmosphere of the bourgeois world to an ice-cold ether around those who suffer to become men, that loneliness of the garden of Gethsemane”
― Colin Wilson, The Outsider
