“Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.


Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you”
― Rumi

“There is no trustworthy standard by which we can separate the 'real' from the 'unreal' aspects of phenomena. Such standards as exist are conventional: and correspond to convenience, not to truth. It is no argument to say that most men see the world in much the same way, and that this “way” is the true standard of reality: though for practical purposes we have agreed that sanity consists in sharing the hallucinations of our neighbors.”

“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”

“Un lettore di professione è in primo luogo chi sa quali libri non leggere; è colui che sa dire, come scrisse una volta mirabilmente Scheiwiller, «non l’ho letto e non mi piace».”
― Giorgio Manganelli, Lunario dell'orfano sannita
