من شأن السجود أن يصبح باردًا ويغرق في الملل المألوف إن تركت... - Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

"I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises."

"There’s a part of me which has always wanted to hear a man say, "Let me take care of you forever,"and I have never heard it spoken before. Over the last few years, I’d given up looking for that person, learned how to say this heartening sentence to myself, especially in times of fear. But to hear it from someone else now, from someone who is speaking sincerely..."

"نصف فائدة السجود تتمثل في الطلب بحدّ ذاته ، في النية السليمة الواضحة ."

"Parla come magni,' It means, 'Speak the way you eat,' or in my personal translation: 'Say it like you eat it.' It's a reminder - when you're making a big deal out of explaining something, when you're searching for the right words - to keep your language as simple and direct as Roman rood. Don't make a big production out of it. Just lay it on the table."

"But I was always coming here. I though about one of my favorite Sufi poems, which says that God long ago drew a circle in the sand exactly around the spot where you are standing right now. I was never not coming here. This was never not going to happen."
