“Men reveal what they think when they look away, and what they feel when they hesitate. With women, it's the other way around”
― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

“ذو العقلِ يشقى في النعيمِ بعقلهِ
وأخو الجهالةِ في الشقاوةِ ينعمُ”
― أبو الطيب المتنبي

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured. I realised, somehow, through the screaming of my mind, that even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It doesn’t sound like much, I know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when it’s all you’ve got, that freedom is an universe of possibility. And the choice you make between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.”
― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram
