Quote by Jeffrey Lang

“يبدو اننا جميعا بحاجة كي نؤمن بأحد ما أو شيء ما. فالحياة دون معنى او اتجاه بائسة حقا. ويبدو انه يتوجب ان نحيا من اجل هدف او شيء ما عزيز علينا ونموت من اجله، سواء كان هذا الهدف او الشيء مبدأ سياسي او خطة حياتية او أمة او حلما او فكرة او مالا او اسرة. اعتقد ان التقديس هو جبلة في الانسان، وأن قدرنا هو أن نكون عبيدا سواء شئنا ذلك ام ابينا.”

“I have a handful of keywords that I try to live by. One of them is: Joy. Everyone needs more joy in their lives. Maybe that means changing job to one you truly like. Maybe that means moving to another country to start a new adventure. Maybe it means forging ties with people who make you truly happy. Maybe it means creating joy in others. For me, one of the many things that brings me joy is writing. I am blessed, and very thankful, that I get to do this for a living.”
