“Di jalan cinta para pejuang, biarkan cinta berhenti di titik ketaatan.. Meloncati rasa suka dan tidak suka.. Melampaui batas cinta dan benci.. Karena hikmah sejati tak selalu terungkap di awal pagi.. Karena seringkali kebodohan merabunkan kesan sesaat.. Maka taat adalah prioritas yang kadang membuat perasaan-perasaan terkibas.. Tapi yakinlah, di jalan cinta para pejuang, Alloh lebih tahu tentang kita..”

“Opening and closing images frame our whole lives, like birth and death. But I’m really talking about the dynamic phase of our lives when we’re making our way in the world. The opening image is when we’re eighteen, say, and our closing image is when we’re about fifty. We all have thirty-two years to get our closing image right, and hardly anyone succeeds. When we’re on our deathbed, will we be proud of our closing image, or tormented by it? That’s the challenge of the movie of our life. That’s when we know if we’re going to heaven or hell. That’s the Final Judgment.”

“Don’t be one of the dreary souls. Don’t be one of the lukewarm. Don’t be neutral. Don’t be non-committal. Plunge in, all the way. Don’t live like the Ignavi, without blame or without praise. Do something. Make a mark. Don’t join the cowardly choir. Don’t let heaven and hell alike shut their door in your face because you are fit for neither. How pathetic must you be if even the depths of hell disdain to receive you?”

“Isn’t it time be a hero, one that your yourself have created and defined? Isn’t it time to be the god you have it within you to be? Leave the broken world behind. Create a new world. This time one that isn’t screwed. Let’s stop being as mad as hell. Let’s stop the decline of humanity into increasing craziness. Let’s create a Society of Quality, a Society of Excellence, a Society of Self-Actualization. Above all, a Society of Divine Humanity, where we have given glorious expression to the divine spark that resides within us all.”
