Hunter S. Thompson
“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”
Hunter S. Thompson

سيد قطب
“والفن والدين صنوان في أعماق النفس وقرارة الحس. وإدراك الجمال الفني دليل استعداد لتلقي التأثير الديني، حين يرتفع الفن إلى هذا المستوى الرفيع، وحين تصفو النفس لتلقى رسالة الجمال.”
سيد قطب, التصوير الفني في القرآن

Kahlil Gibran
“Once there lived in the ancient city of Afkar two learned men who hated and belittled each other's learning. For one of them denied the existence of the gods and the other was a believer.
One day the two met in the market-place, and amidst their followers they began to dispute and to argue about the existence or the non-existence of the gods. And after hours of contention they parted.
That evening the unbeliever went to the temple and prostrated himself before the altar and prayed the gods to forgive his wayward past.
And the same hour the other learned man, he who had upheld the gods, burned his sacred books. For he had become an unbeliever.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Madman

C.S. Lewis
“I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the Horses the new strength of fear for the last mile so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.”
C.S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy

Haruki Murakami
“The proposition that we can look into another person's heart with perfect clarity strikes me as a fool's game. I don't care how well we think we should understand them, or how much we love them. All it can do is cause us pain. Examining your own heart, however, is another matter. I think it's possible to see what's in there if you work hard enough at it. So in the end maybe that’s the challenge: to look inside your own heart as perceptively and seriously as you can, and to make peace with what you find there. If we hope to truly see another person, we have to start by looking within ourselves.”
Haruki Murakami, Hombres sin mujeres
