Abu Hamid al-Ghazali
“Knowledge exists potentially in the human soul like the seed in the soil; by learning the potential becomes actual.”
Imam Al-Ghazali

Virginia Woolf
“And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees
and changing leaves.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.”
Jelaluddin Rumi , The Essential Rumi

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Like a sculptor, if necessary,
carve a friend out of stone.
Realize that your inner sight is blind
and try to see a treasure in everyone.”
Rumi Jalalu'l-Din
