“Perhaps the answers to these questions require fundamental advances at the interface of physics, the arts, and neuroscience. The deep links between musical form and physical form may be unveiled by understanding how both kinds of knowledge-music and physics-arise together in human brains and nowhere else. After all, brains, regardless of how mysterious they are, are the most complex structures in the universe.”
― Stephon Alexander, The Jazz of Physics: The Secret Link Between Music and the Structure of the Universe

“إن الحكمة الإلهية حدت بنا أن نحب بعضنا بعضاً بدرجات يُمليها القضاء والقدر.
وبسبب ذلك القرار المُتخذ مسبقاً فإن كل من فى العالم مقترن بمن يألفه.”

“Press thy suit, yet with moderation;
A blade of grass cannot pierce a mountain.
If the sum that illumines the world
Were to dry nigher, the world would be consumed”
― Rumi, Selected Poems

“Just Friends

I know that I don't own you,
and perhaps I never will,
so anger when you're with her,
I have no right to feel

I know that you don't owe me,
and I should ask for more;
I shouldn't feel so let down,
all the times when you don't call

What I feel—I should show you,
so when you're around I won't;
I knwo I've no right to feel it
but it doesn't mean I don't.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure
