“But intellect can also reject what has happened. That is what is meant by having faith or not having faith. If you feel that what cannot be explained by the intellect does not exist, then you are a “nonbeliever.” Then you will continue in this lower existence of the intellect, tethered to it. Then you disallow mystery, then you disallow intuition to speak to you.”
― Osho, Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic

“Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience- or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope.”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“I never wish to offend, but I am so foolishly shy, that I often seem negligent, when I am only kept back by my natural awkwardness. [...] Shyness is only the effect of a sense of inferiority in some way or other. If I could persuade myself that my manners were perfectly easy and graceful, I should not be shy.”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“ليتني أعرف كيف
أخطفُ من وردة الصبيّة
طريقتها في الفرح
أغبطها كيف تدسّ
بين دفّتي كتابٍ
عالما من الحبّ
كيف لا تخشى الحزن
الماكث على بُعد أغنيتين منها ؟”
― مروة عبد الله, تمتَماتُ المَ’روى
