Kiran Desai
“But then, how could you have any self-respect knowing that you didn't believe in anything exactly? How did you embrace what was yours if you didn't leave something for it? How did you create a life of meaning and pride?”
Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss

Kahlil Gibran
“ما اجهل الناس الذين يتوهّمون ان المحبة تتولد بالمعاشرة الطويلة والمرافقة المستمرة.
ان المحبة الحقيقية هي ابنة التفاهم الروحي وان لم يتم هذا التفاهم الروحي بلحظة واحدة لا يتم بعام ولا بجيل كامل”
جبران خليل جبران, The Broken Wings

Kahlil Gibran
“لي من نفسي صديق يعزيني إذا ما اشتدت خطوب الأيام، ويواسيني عندما تلم مصائب الحياة، ومن لم يكن صديقاً لنفسه كان عدواً للناس، ومن لم ير مؤنساً من ذاته مات قانطاً، لأنّ الحياة تنبثق من داخل الإنسان ولم تجئ مما يحيطوا به.”
جبران خليل جبران

Kahlil Gibran
“ان ما نتوق اليه ونعجز عن الحصول عليه أحب الى قلوبنا مما قد حصلنا عليه.”
جبران خليل جبران

Anthony de Mello
“Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs until they have been polluted and contaminated by the stupidity of society and culture. To acquire happiness you don't have to do anything, because happiness cannot be acquired. Does anybody know why? Because we have it already. How can you acquire what you already have? Then why don't you experience it? Because you've got to drop something. You've got to drop illusions. You don't have to add anything in order to be happy; you've got to drop something. Life is easy, life is delightful. It's only hard on your illusions, your ambitions, your greed, your cravings. Do you know where these things come from? From having identified with all kinds of labels!”
Anthony de Mello, Awareness: The Perils and Opportunities of Reality
