Quote by Kristin S. Kaufman

“Our world is moving so fast and we are apt to miss so much of what is happening "right now." If we can put down our smart phones for one moment and be present to what is around us, I believe these incidental meetings and strangers who come into our lives can give us unexpected fortitude, perspective and even wisdom just when we need them the most - if we are just awake, aware and open to these new insights.”

“هناك فى عالمنا من يهمهم أن يجعلوا الناس ينغمسون فى دراما حياتهم.. بل اكثر من ذلك : ينغمسون فى دراما مصطنعة سواء من خلال المسلسلات و الافلام المغرقة فى الحزن و الالم او من خلال الاخبار التى تركز فقط على السوء فى عالمنا .. هؤلاء يتحركون بإلهام من قوى الشر ‫‬ ‫‏”

“‎They are angry with me, because I know what I am." Said the little eagle. "How do you know that they are angry with you?" "Because, they despise me for wanting to soar, they only want me to peck at the dirt, looking for ants, with them. But I can't do that. I don't have chicken feet, I have eagle wings." "And what is so wrong with having eagle wings and no chicken feet?" Asked the old owl. "I'm not sure, that's what I'm trying to find out." "They hate you because you know that you are an eagle and they want you to think you are a chicken so that you will peck at the ground looking for ants and worms, so that you will never know that you are an eagle and always think yourself a chicken. Let them hate you, they will always be chickens, and you will always be an eagle. You must fly. You must soar." Said the old owl.”
