“There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert

“I have good idea, for if you meet some person from different religion and he want to make argument about God. My idea is, you listen to everything this man say about God. Never argue about God with him. Best thing to say is, 'I agree with you.' Then you go home, pray what you want. This is my idea for people to have peace about religion.”

“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”

“لو نزلت الجامع اللي جنب بيتكو تقولهم وطوا صوت الميكروفون ده لإنه عالي ومزعج , حتلاقيهم واقفينلك كإنهم بيدافعوا عن الحضارة الإسلامية المنقرضه , مع إنهم بيدافعوا عن فعل قبيح ودميم ولا له أدنى علاقة بالدين , الإسلام مافيهوش ولا ميكروفونات ولا سماعات كبيرة ولا أصوات أحيانا أنكر من صوت الحمير وفاكرين نفسهم النقشبندي .”
