“Everything in life is a matter of choice. There are only two things we have no choice about. We cannot avoid these two things no matter how hard we try. The first is that we must die. Death is an absolute certainty, and the second thing we have no choice about is that we must live until we die. Now understand this - everything else in your life that you think you have to do, or are forced to do, is a choice.”

“Almost universally, when people look back on their lives while on their deathbed [...] they wish they had spent more time with the people and activities they truly loved and less time worrying about aspects of life that, upon deeper examination, really don't matter at all that much. Imagining yourself at your own funeral allows you to look back at your life while you still have the chance to make some important changes.”

“ويمكن القول إن الثورة الناجحة لا تحدث إلا بعد سلسلة من الثورات الفاشلة، حيث تكون كل واحدة منها بمثابة خطوة لتمهيد الطريق نحو إنجاح الثورة الأخيرة”
― علي الوردي, منطق ابن خلدون

“منهك هو الإشتياق للموتى،اذ ليس ثمة طريقة لأن نحتضنهم، أو نصل إليهم، أو نسمعهم نحيبنا، أو يروا آثار بكائهم في أعيننا ..يظل رثاء الأموات بارد كأجسادهم! موجعاً أنك مهما بلغت من الحزن أقصاه .. لن تصل روحك حتى لأطراف السماء الاولى .. حيث هم "فوقك" بكثير !”
