“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“Marriage as a long conversation. - When marrying you should ask yourself this question: do you believe you are going to enjoy talking with this woman into your old age? Everything else in a marriage is transitory, but most of the time that you're together will be devoted to conversation.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”

“أتهزأ بالدعاء و تزدريه... و ما تدري بم صنع الدعاء
سهام الليل لا تخطئ و لكن... لها أمد و للأمد انقضاء
فيمسكها إذا ما شاء ربي... و يرسلها إذا نفذ القضاء”
― محمد بن إدريس الشافعي, ديوان الإمام الشافعي
