“I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“Either appear as you are
Or be as you appear
Be like the sun in compassion and mercy
Be like the light in covering others' shame
Be like a stream in generosity and beneficence
Be like earth in modesty and humility
Be like the sea in tolerance
Be like death in irritability and anger
Either appear as you are
Or be as you appear
The Dervish Gate”
― Ahmet Ümit, Bab-ı Esrar
