Quote by Haruki Murakami

“Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I'm gazing at a distant star. It's dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago. Maybe the star doesn't even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.”

“Loss invites reflection and reformulating and a change of strategies. Loss hurts and bleeds and aches. Loss is always ready to call out your name in the night. Loss follows you home and taunts you at the breakfast table, follows you to work in the morning. You have to make accommodations and broker deals to soften the rabbit punches that loss brings to your daily life. You have to take the word "loser" and add it to your resume and walk around with it on your name tag as it hand-feeds you your own shit in dosages too large for even great beasts to swallow. The word "loser" follows you, bird-dogs you, sniffs you out of whatever fields you hide in because you have to face things clearly and you cannot turn away from what is true.”

“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 )”

“A teachable spirit and a humbleness to admit your ignorance or your mistake will save you a lot of pain. However, if you're a person who knows it all, then you've got a lot of heavy-hearted experiences coming your way.”
