“It is certainly not my place to know the unknowable and, in any case, I would always choose love over peace of mind.

“You know, Anvar, people don’t understand these days,” he told me, “the real sacrifice. They think their offering is the money they spend on the animal. Or they think it is the life of the animal.

Remember to never take more from the world than you can give back to it.”
― Syed M. Masood, The Bad Muslim Discount
