“هناك طُرُقٌ صوفية يمتد نورُها حتى يوم القيامة، يَهتدي بها مَن يَهتدي ويَضِل عنها مَن يَضِل، تَنسلِخُ مِنها طُرُقٌ أخرى ربما تسير على نهجِها، وربما تتخذ مُنحَنىً آخَر ونهجًا آخَر، يقودُها شيوخٌ يُضيِفون إليها مِن كَشفِهم وربما لا يُضيِفون."
الشيطان السارد”
― عبد السلام إبراهيم, عرش الديناري

“In essence what relativity says is that space and time are not absolute but relative both to the observer and the thing being observed, and the faster one moves the more pronounced these effects will become. We can never accelerate ourselves to the speed of light, and the harder we try(the faster we go) the more distorted we become, relative to an outside observer.”
― Bill Bryson
