“When a learned philosopher was in the throes of death, he said: Had I known how listening is superior to speaking, I would not have wasted my life preaching. Eloquent speech is perhaps as fine as gold but unspoken words are even more precious.”
― Attar, translated by Sholeh Wolpe

“To seek death is death's only cure.”
― Attar of Nishapur

“God bless the rain, and the storm clouds that bring it.
God bless the music, and the voices that sing it.
God bless the ones who sing everything wrong.
God bless the creatures who do not belong.
God bless the hearts and the souls who are grieving
For those who have left, and for those who are leaving.
God bless each perishing body and mind,
God bless all creatures remaining behind.
God bless the dreamers whose dreams have awoken.
God bless the lovers whose hearts have been broken.
God bless each soul that is tortured and taunted,
God bless all creatures alone and unwanted.”
― Dav Pilkey

“By thus rending the veil of monotony and showing that everything is in constant need of and obedient to His Lordship, He dispels heedlessness and turns humanity and jinn from (natural) causes to Himself as the Creator of causes. This basic principle is evident in the Qur’anic explanations.”
