“خرجت إلى الحج فاستقبلني رجل في بعض المتاهات فقال : يا أبا يزيد إلى أين؟
، فقلت : إلى الحج ،
فقال : كم معك من الدراهم ؟ ،
قلت : معي مئتا درهم ،
فقال : طف حولي سبع مرات و ناولني المائتي درهم فإن لي عيالاً ، فطفت حوله و ناولته المائتي درهم .”

“If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.”

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself.”
