“Bilgelik üniversite eğitimiyle değil; tecrübeler ve akıl yönetimiyle ilgiliymiş. Hiç okul okumamış olmasına rağmen tanıdığım çoğu üniversiteliden, politikacıdan ve kendini bilge sanan yazarlardan daha akıllı düşünüyor! Belki insanlara göre o diploması olmadığı, yüksek makamlarda çalışmadığı, kırsal kesimde yaşadığı için serseri görülüyordur, oysa ne yanlış bir düşünce! Bilinmeyen düşünürlerle dolu Anadolu, acılarla yoğrulmuş Hazreti İsalar taşıyor üzerinde…”

“Ramai pengkritik sastera sekarang atau pengkritik moden pada masa lebih kurang lima puluh tahun yang lampau dilatih di dalam institusi pengajian (atau universiti moden di dalam bidang sastera dan sejarah sastera malah bidang kemanusiaan seluruhnya) dan mereka yang mendapatkan pembelajaran sekular serta mereka yang tidak pernah didedah kepada kepentingan dan keutamaan Rasul Islam di dalam tradisi sastera Islam, akan mendapati bahawa panggilan kepada 'seruan suci' ke atas Rasulullah sepertimana yang terkandung di dalam penulisan dan penerbitan sastera agak ganjil dan tidak realistik atau tidak lebih daripada cuma klise masa lampau melaung-laung kerana kehampaan. Walhal sebelum zaman moden, setiap penyair atau pemikir Sufi, di dalam perbincangan-perbincangan mereka di dalam perkara apa saja pun, atau yang berkenaan dengan Islam, tidak akan meninggalkan atau menidakkan kepentingan mendekatkan diri dengan hakikat asal usul kejadian iaitu manusia utama yang digelar al-insan al-kamil (manusia sempurna walaupun makhluk). Bagi orang Islam, Rasul Islam adalah segalanya yang bermakna di dalam penciptaan. Tidak ada apa pun di dlam penciptaan yang tidak dikaitkan dengan Baginda dek kerana Baginda terlebih dahulu dikenali di dalam tradisi Sufi sebagai sumber segala jenis dan bentuk penciptaan; deminya yang dicipta awal itu telah diciptakan pula semua yang lain dan dia yang mulia itu adalah guru pada semua rasul dan nabi yang diutuskan Tuhan sebelum darinya; dia ciptaan yang awal dan terakhir sampai di dalam bentuk kejadian.”

“He looks at Erik. “The last thing you’re going to do is wallow. You’re going to get back on your feet and figure out how to adjust. Trust me, you’ll thank me for it later.” Erik grimaces but nods. “I’m sure I will,” he says, forcing himself to sit up, and groaning as he does. “But right now, I’d like to say some far less savory things to you.” “Keep a list,” Heron says with a small smile. “You can tell them to me over dinner.” For an instant, Erik is shocked and flustered—a look I’ve never seen on him before. He recovers his wits quickly enough. “It’s a deal,” he says. Artemisia looks between the two of them, eyebrows raised so high they almost disappear entirely into her hair. “We are at war,” she says with a sigh. “Surely there is a better time to flirt than when death is around every corner?” “Truth be told, I’m hard-pressed to think of a better time to flirt,” Erik says, pushing himself to his feet. “You very well may never get another chance.” Artemisia rolls her eyes. “Just because I can’t see you doesn’t mean I don’t know you’re rolling your eyes, Art,” he says, holding an arm out to her, which she takes. She guides him a couple of hesitant steps. “Just because you don’t know how to flirt—” “I know how,” she snaps indignantly as she leads him out of the tent, the two of them continuing to bicker as they go.”
