Quote by Master Nursi

“The mirror to the beautiful is beautiful. The mirror that shows the virtues of beauty becomes beautiful. Just as whatever is done to the mirror by such beauty is good and beautiful, whatever befalls life too, in respect of reality, is good.”

“Naming something beautiful made it so. I'd seen this in the way the church spoke of marriage as a sacred institution and in the one man plus one woman bumper stickers people sported on their vehicles.

I was gay, had been named as such, a fact that once ingested had to be immediately expelled.”

Then I would walk like a zombie to the parking lot and drive to the baseball field, where I wouldn't even get out of the car, just sit with my hands on the steering wheel and stare at the Cyclone fence and the yellowed winter grass until the sun went down and it was too dark for me to see.”

“Success is not always linear and clear. Sometimes, you will have to take risks, and sometimes you will have to embrace failures. The journey is filled with ups and downs, but each step is crucial.”
