Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.

Isaiah Berlin once said that there are two kinds of writers, hedgehogs and foxes. He said the fox knows many things, the hedgehog knows just one thing. So Shakespeare is a typical fox; Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky are typical hedgehogs. Now, I'm a typical hedgehog. I know just one thing, and I repeat it over and over again. I try to approach it from different angles to make it look different, but it's the same thing.

Colin Wilson

Light is more important than the lantern,The poem more important than the notebook

Nizar Qabbani

We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voice; and dead to its death. And not till we know, that one grief outweighs ten thousand joys will we become what Christianity is striving to make us.

Herman Melville

To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.

Lewis H. Lapham

A family with the wrong members in control that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.

George Orwell

Since 2001, the Patriot Act has provided the means to detect and disrupt terrorist threats against the U.S. Prior to enactment of the law, major legal barriers prevented intelligence, national defense, and law enforcement agencies from working together and sharing information.

Roger Wicker

As you think, so shall you become.

Bruce Lee

Identify the things and people that make you feel unhappy and eliminate them from your life. Nothing good can come from them.

Steve Maraboli

If we are not empty, we become a block of matter. We cannot breathe, we cannot think. To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. We cannot be alive if we are not empty. Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.

Thich Nhat Hanh

The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all.

Desiderius Erasmus

War - An act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will.

George Washington

The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.
