لو كان العقل على قدر كلام الرجل، لكان الثرثار أكبر الناس عقلاً، ولو كان العلم على قدر حفظ المسائل لكان التلميذ أوسع من أستاذه علماً، ولو كان الجاه على قدر الفضائل لما كان للأشرار نفوذ، ولو كان المال على قدر العقل لكان أغنى الناس الحكماء، وأفقر الناس السفهاء، ولو كان الخلود على قدر نفع الناس لما خلد السفاحون والطغاة وأكثر الملوك والزعماء. ↗
ولا تندهش من هذا يا يحيى، فهناك كثير من الإشاعات حول الحياة والرجال، من بينها أن الرجل لا يخطئ إلا نادرا، والحقيقة هى العكس بالضبط. نحن نخطئ طوال الوقت، طوال الوقت، ولا يمكن إلا أن نخطئ، لأننا نتاج ما تَعرّضنا له، وهو بالضرورة قاصر، ولأننا نقرر فى ضوء ما نعرفه، وهو بالضرورة قاصر، ولأننا نتأثر بأهوائنا وضعفنا ومخاوفنا . حاول قدرما تريد، لكنك ستخطئ، طوال الوقت. الرجل الحقيقى ليس من لا يخطئ، بل من لديه من القوة والشجاعة ما يكفى لأن يسائل نفسه، أو يستمع إلى من يسائله. وإن وفقه الله فقد يتمكن من اكتشاف خطئه، أو فهمه. ولو أحبه الله فعلا لتعلم من هذا الخطأ. لكن كل ذلك يستغرق وقتا. ويكاد يكون من المستحيل أن يحدث لك كل هذا وأنت فى خضمّ الحدث الذى تخطئ بشأنه رواية باب الخروج ↗

Once an opportunist like Mickey, who took the argument when she jumped on some devastated wretch's machine and jackpotted that it was the "cash-ino's money" she was winning, Moon returned after her six month break with the view that the separation had somehow sweetened the honeypot. The sad reality, she quickly learned, was that she was not irreplaceable; as such, the Casino felt no compunction to welcome her back with multi-jackpots. Instead, it took her money everyday and did not once give her a jackpot so that she could say, "Ah. They missed me." Instead, all she could keep saying was, "Verr-y bed. Verr-y bed. Suck-ah all my money! ↗
I started running for reasons I had only just begun to understand. As a child, I ran in the woods and around my house for fun. As a teen, I ran to get my body in better shape. Later, I ran to find peace. I ran, and kept running, because I had learned that once you started something you didn’t quit, because in life, much like in an ultramarathon, you have to keep pressing forward. Eventually I ran because I turned into a runner, and my sport brought me physical pleasure and spirited me away from debt and disease, from the niggling worries of everyday existence. I ran because I grew to love other runners. I ran because I loved challenges and because there is no better feeling than arriving at the finish line or completing a difficult training run. And because, as an accomplished runner, I could tell others how rewarding it was to live healthily, to move my body every day, to get through difficulties, to eat with consciousness, that what mattered wasn’t how much money you made or where you lived, it was how you lived. I ran because overcoming the difficulties of an ultramarathon reminded me that I could overcome the difficulties of life, that overcoming difficulties was life. ↗
