“I’ve always felt I had to do things because they were expected of me, or more important, to make people like me. The hell with it! I think from now on I’m going to just be me—rich or poor, good or bad, rational or irrational, logical or illogical, famous or infamous.”
― Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming A Person: A Therapist's View on Psychotherapy, Humanistic Psychology, and the Path to Personal Growth

“He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper, but he is more excellent who can suit his temper to his circumstance.”

“إن كلاً من الدين والثورة يولدان في مخاض من الألم والمعاناة ويحتضران في الرخاء والرفاهية والترف. حياة الدين والثورة تدوم بدوام النضال والجهاد، حتى إذا تحققا، يبدأ الموت يتسرب إليهما. ففي مرحلة التحقق في الواقع العملي يُنتجان مؤسسات وأبنية، وهذه المؤسسات نفسها هي التي تقضي عليهما في نهاية الأمر. فالمؤسسات الرسمية لا هي ثورية ولا هي دينية.”
― Alija Izetbegović, الإسلام بين الشرق والغرب

“I have learned that my total organismic sensing of a situation is more trustworthy than my intellect.”
