Quote by Otessa Moshfegh

“She was, to him, a holy grace, far more powerful than any priest or nun. God lived in her eyes. That was how he had fallen for her-- like a religious conversion.”

“The concentration of a baby is alive wonderment. It is to that kind of organic interest, or passion, and awareness that Toni [Packer] seems to be pointing: listening that is not rote or methodical in any way. The baby has no sense yet of self-image, of itself as an object—a person—who needs to be improved, and Toni will question any meditation practice that contributes to such a picture.”

“The motive of the ego is always self-centred. The love of less-developed teachers is not as unselfish as it may, sometimes, seem. Teachers can love our dedication to them rather than our dedication to the Truth. We dedicate ourselves to Truth, not to a material personality. We learn to lean on the sustaining Infinite and, in this way, we trust not human persons but we trust the goodness of the Divine presence. A true teacher will encourage this. The spirit of the teacher is everything. Words are cheap. Many teachers who have large followings are internally misaligned.”

“ويظهر رفض الموضوعية المُتلقيّة في دراستي عن فيلم "قائمة شندلر"، إذ بيّنت أن هذا الفيلم لا يتبنى الرؤية الصهيونية للمحرقة، التي تذهب إلى أن امحرقة ان هي إلا تعبير عن عداء الأغيار الأزلي لليهود، واستمرار للمذابح المستمرة ضد اليهود عبر التاريخ، وهي مذابح لا تفسير لها سوى كره العالم لليهود، مما يعني ضرورة تأسيس دولة يهودية لهم، وتبنّي رؤية مُغايرة. وقد بيَّنت في الموسوعة، ابتداءً، أن بطل الفيلم الذي ينقذ اليهود ليس يهودياً، وهذا يُسقط الثنائية الصهيونية الاختزالية: اليهود ضد الجميع. كما أن الفيلم بيَّن أن حرق اليهود ليس مجرد هوس نازي، وليس مُجرد عداء أزلي من جانب الأغيار، فهو يتم لأسباب عملية نابعة من رؤية نفعية مادية واضحة ( ومن هنا التسمية "قائمة شندلر"، فهذا عالم كل شئ فيه محسوب). وبرغم أن نهاية الفيلم الملونة نهاية صهيونية، تدور أحداثها في إسرائيل، فإنها إضافة مُقحمَة، الهدف منها هو الحصول على الأوسكار. وبالفعل حصل سبيلبرج على ما يريد. ولكن إسحق رابين، رئيس وزراء إسرائيل، تَنَبَه إلى المضمون الحقيقي للفيلم، فقال إنه ليس "هولوكوستياً" بما فيه الكفاية!.”

“In another World, She hadn't met him at all, or maybe, just maybe, She'd met Him and He had fallen for her just as much as she did. In another World, Love won over Lust. In another World, Love won over Convenience. In another World, Efforts won over Pretences. In another World, Time won over Timing. In another World, She didn't have to lose all her Dreams because She was Chosen by Him just as much as She Chose him. In another World, She wasn't just pretty and successful, She was Happy in a Home, where He held her Heart in His Soul, just as She held his in hers. In another World, their Souls knew Home in Each Other, Just as it was meant to be, not just in this World. Perhaps.”
