“Sooner or later...one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.”
― Graham Greene, The Quiet American

“Faith is powerful. When you’re able to accept everything that happens to you as part of the Almighty’s plan, you’re on the road to something greater. Remember, one day, all the pieces of the puzzle will fit and you’ll be so pleased that you remained patient right till the end!”
― Mufti Menk

“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“إننا نعيش لأنفسنا حياة مضاعفة، حينما نعيش للآخرين، وبقدر ما نضاعف إحساسنا بالآخرين نضاعف إحساسنا بحياتنا، ونضاعف هذه الحياة ذاتها في النهاية.”
― سيد قطب, أفراح الروح
