“We can imagine the books we'd like to read, even if they have not yet been written, and we can imagine libraries full of books we would like to possess, even if they are well beyond our reach, because we enjoy dreaming up a library that reflects every one of our interests and every one of our foibles--a library that, in its variety and complexity, fully reflects the reader we are.”

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”

“سأل رجل الشافعي رحمه الله فقال: يا أبا عبد الله، أيُّما أفضل للرجل: أن يمكن أوأن يبتلى؟ فقال الشافعي: لا يمكَّن حتى يبتلى، فإن الله ابتلى نوحاً، وإبراهيم، وموسى، وعيسى، ومحمداً صلوات الله وسلامه عليهم، فلما صبروا مكنهم، فلا يظن أحد أنه يخلص من الألم البتة.”

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
