I learned that the world has a soul, and that whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of things. I learned that many alchemists realized their destinies, and wound up discovering the Soul of the World, the Philosopher's Stone, and the Elixir of Life. But above all, I learned that these things are all so simple they could be written on the surface of an emerald. ↗

على لسان الشيخ أحمد ياسين .. والله انت عارف ، أنا انسان عشت حياتي أملي واحد ، أملي يرضى الله عني ، ورضاه لا يكتسب إلا بطاعته، وطاعة الله تتمثل في الجهاد من أجل إعلاء كلمة الله في الأرض، ومن أجل تطهيرأرض الله من الفساد الذي يقيمه أعداء الله، في الأرض ، فإذا ما حققت الهدف الأول وهو تطهير الأرض الاسلامية من الاغتصاب وقام عليها النظام الاسلامي ، فهذه هي أمنيتي التي أسعى اليها وأرجو الله أن ألقاه عليها ، فإذا تحققت فذلك فضله ، وإن مت قبل أن تتحقق أكون قد بدأت الطريق وخطوت خطوات (والله غالب على أمره ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون ) ↗

[W]hen I put Jorge in the library I did not yet know he was the murderer. He acted on his own, so to speak. And it must not be thought that this is an 'idealistic' position, as if I were saying that the characters have an autonomous life and the author, in a kind of trance, makes them behave as they themselves direct him. That kind of nonsense belongs in term papers. The fact is that the characters are obliged to act according to the laws of the world in which they live. In other words, the narrator is the prisoner of his own premises. ↗

He broke me down past the flesh, past the muscle, past the bone, down to my soul and in a loud provocation, he asked, “What are you made of?” After I gathered the broken bits and pieces of my life together, I shouted at the top of my lungs, “HOPE! Unbreakable, undeniable, irrevocable hope! ↗

It’s the most spiritually empowering thing I know, to look up at the night sky and see Orion rising as the autumn closes in at the last moment, and it’s got me through some very hard times. When I had a couple of serious bouts of depression in my life the stars were a big factor in pulling me out. People used to say “What’s your spirituality?”, and I’d say I don’t know, but I found out looking at the stars last night and that’s what it was. ↗
