“Amidst the depths of despair, where Akathisia's whispers echo, we find not the conclusion but the start of our deepest strength. Despite being alone and facing challenges, it is in this place of intense struggle that we find a resilient determination to conquer what appears insurmountable. Even in the midst of constant turmoil in our worst dreams, there is a glimmer of hope that urges us to keep going. We demonstrate that despite the challenges of Akathisia, the human spirit perseveres, always striving for progress and development.”

“Amidst the flood of dangerous reading, I plead for my Master's book; I call upon you not to forget the book of the soul. Do not let newspapers, novels, and romances be read, while the prophets and Apostles be despised. Do not let the exciting and sensual swallow up your attention, while the edifying and the sanctifying can find no place in your mind.”

“Amidst the storm of self-doubt, be the gentle harbour of compassion. Your worth is not measured by the mistakes you make, but by the resilience with which you rise from each fall. Keep your gaze fixed on the horizon of possibility, for in the unwavering pursuit of your dreams lies the path to fulfilment.”

“Amidst the tempestuous sea of distractions, our dreams reside, like a distant lighthouse, steadfast and patient. They wait for us to navigate the storm, to steer our ship through the crashing waves and reach the tranquility of focused intent. The challenge, therefore, is not to calm the sea, but to become skilled mariners, to learn to sail even in the fiercest storm.”

“Amidst the vast expanse of the night sky, the dream of landing on the moon beckons us with a silent promise - a promise of transcending the boundaries of Earth, touching the tapestry of the cosmos, and leaving an indelible mark on the canvas of human achievement.”

“Amidst the vicissitudes of the earth's surface, species cannot be immortal, but must perish, one after another, like the individuals which compose them. There is no possibility of escaping from this conclusion.”

“Amigo mesmo só me lembro de um. Era alguns anos mais velho e dizia que eu tinha um futuro. Vivia lendo os jornais, as revistas especializadas, depois me contava que era tudo mentira. Recebia correspondência do estrangeiro, ouvia os clássicos, ia publicar em breve um tratado polêmico sobre não sei mais que matéria. Inventou e queria me ensinar uma língua chamada desesperanto, tendo organizado uma gramática e farto vocabulário. Dedicou-se numa fase à escultura comestível; ergueu no apartamento uma cidade inteira de marzipã, mas nunca chegou a expor. Também era dado a premonições; fazia certas previsões que ele mesmo se assustava e emudecia uma semana. E parece que tinha em seu passado uma história conhecida e admirada por gente da sua geração. Dessas histórias ele nunca me falou, e por isso eu o admirava mais. No bar, quando bebia além da conta, ou quando já chegava cheio de estimulantes no pensamento, dizia poemas. Havia noites, geralmente noites de sábado quando lotava o bar, que ele deixava cair na testa a franja negra e cismava de declamar em francês. Eu ficava sem jeito porque ele declamava alto demais e olhando para mim, e as outras pessoas na mesa não entendiam os versos. Eu, ele achava que eu pegava o sentido. O resultado é que sobrávamos só nós dois na mesa, porque as poucas pessoas que suportam poesia, não suportam francês.”

“Amintirile din trecutul său deveniseră mult mai puternice acum. Se convinsese că avea să și-o scoată din minte și suflet. Căpătase toată cruzimea pe care o dorise. Jurase să o urască atât de mult pe cât o iubise, să o deteste pentru nefericirea pe care i-o oferise. Își promisese multe lucruri, dar nu reușise să le îndeplinească. Cu fiecare moment în care era vulnerabil cădea și mai mult, ceda durerii care-l mistuise din prima clipă în care o văzuse.”

“Amir then showed off his moonwalk prowess as he started to walk backward toward Tara again. Tara closed her eyes and laughed. She took a sip from her glass and said, “Divaneh!” “I am crazy. Crazy for you!” Amir said with eyebrows raised and still dancing in his spot. Tara sat on the edge of the bed, glass in hand and with the other smoothed a piece of her hair behind her ear. “Did you know that Persian demons did everything backward?” she said. “Did they now?” Amir replied still dancing. “They did. The word for demons, div, comes from the Avesta language meaning ‘a spirit or deity personifying evil.’ They were creatures that wreaked havoc.” “Really?” “Yes, really,” Tara replied with a smile. “And we’ve got Ferdowsi and the old Persian language to thank for the word divaneh too.” “So are you telling me that I’m a demon?” Amir didn’t get where Tara was going as he walked back toward the dressing table.”

“Amir, you look hideous.” My fiancée, Samirah al-Abbas, stared at my outfit in horrified disbelief. “Really?” I looked down at myself. “But it’s a tux!” “A baby-blue tux!” “With a matching ruffled shirt and floppy bow tie,” I said defensively. “My uncle loaned it to me. I think it’ll impress your grandparents, don’t you?” “It’s Jid and Bibi’s fiftieth wedding anniversary!” Sam sputtered. “You can’t wear—” “Samirah.” My father emerged from the kitchen. “He is pulling your leg.” Sam’s reddish-brown eyes blazed dangerously, and I suddenly realized that playing a practical joke on a Valkyrie might not be the best idea I ever had.”
