We don't think a sustainable society need be stagnant, boring, uniform, or rigid. It need not be, and probably could not be, centrally controlled or authoritarian. It could be a world that has the time, the resources, and the will to correct its mistakes, to innovate, to preserve the fertility of its planetary ecosystems. It could focus on mindfully increasing quality of life rather than on mindlessly expanding material consumption and the physical capital stock. ↗

Ertinya, Allah itu adalah penyebab yang mutlak kepada semua cinta manusia. Justifikasinya sangat jelas. Tidak boleh dinafikan lagi. Justeru jika ada sesuatu atau seseorang yang selain-Nya lebih kita cintai, maka itu menunjukkann kita salah dalam meletakkan cinta. Kita lari dari cinta yang besar kepada cinta yang kecil. Kita pinggirkan cinta yang agung kepada cinta yang kerdil. ↗

Everyone lives a self-centered life...whether its trivial like what's for breakfast, or more ambitious, like achieving some lofty goal, a person is constantly on her own mind. ↗
