I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew. The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul. Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.

Hafez

A well-chosen book saves you from everything, including yourself.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

He who can see truly in the midst of general infatuation is like a man whose watch keeps good time, when all clocks in the town in which he lives are wrong. He alone knows the right time; what use is that to him?

Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

Marcus Aurelius

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding about ourselves.

Carl Jung

Sometimes I think it is my mission to bring faith to the faithless, and doubt to the faithful.

Paul Tillich

Parh parh ilm kitaabaan da tu naam rakh leya qaazi

Hath vich parh ke talvaaraan tu naam rakh leya ghaazi

Makke Madinay ghoom aya tu naam rakh leya haaji

Bullah tu ki haasil kita je yaar na rakhya raazi!”
