“I have always thought that Heaven is a place for people who had had a good life, but that is not true. God is merciful and way too good to make it so. The Heaven is just a place for people who could not be really happy while living on Earth. I was once told that people who commit suicide are taken back on Earth to repeat life from the very beginning because if they did not like it once, it did not mean they would not like it the next time. But those who did not fit in on Earth at all, ended up here. Everyone comes to Heaven in their own way.”

“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.”
― Rumi

“I think she cried at my funeral. It's not that I'm conceited or anything, but I'm pretty sure. Sometimes I can actually picture her talking about me to some guy she feels close to. Talking about me dying. About how they lowered me into the grave, kind of shrivelled up and pitiful, like an old chocolate bar. About how we never really got a chance. And afterwards the guy fucks her, a fuck that's all about making her feel better.”

“أنت أنت العبد لا تتلفت، والأغلال والأصفاد في طوية فؤادك ودخلية نفسك، ولو كانت فييديك أو قدميك، لكان الخطب أيسر، لأن تحطيمها عندئذ يهون، أنت أنت العبد لا تتلفت، فلست تستطيب لنفسك عيشاً بغير سيد إنلم تجده في الأرض ألتمسته في السماء.”
