“That sometimes human beings have to just sit in one place and, like, hurt. That you will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do. That there is such a thing as raw, unalloyed, agendaless kindness. That it is possible to fall asleep during an anxiety attack. That concentrating on anything is very hard work.”

“I found power in accepting the truth of who I am. It may not be a truth that others can accept, but I cannot live any other way. How would it be to live a lie every minute of your life.”

From my current read The Road to Mecca by Muhammad Asad
"My share in all that is happening, I- this bundle of flesh and bone, of sensations and perception- have been placed within the orbit of Being, and am within all that is happening. Danger is only illusions: never can it overcame me: for all that happens to me is part of all embracing stream of which I myself am a part. Could it be, perhaps, that danger and safety, death and joy, destiny and fulfilment are but different aspects of this tiny majestic bundle that is I? What an endless freedom, O God, hast thou granted to a man."
"Science said, 'Cognition is everything' and forgot that cognition without an ethical goal can lead to chaos."
"If water stands motionless in a pool it grows stale and muddy, but when it moves and flows it becomes clear: so, too, man in his wanderings."
“We allow ourselves to be blown by the winds because we do know what we want: our hearts know it, even if our thoughts are sometimes slow to follow- but in the end they do catch up with our hearts and then we think we have made a decision”
“I suddenly felt in myself all the weight of Europe: the weight of deliberate purpose in all our actions. I thought to myself, 'How difficult it is for us to attain to reality. We always try to grab it: but it does not like to be grabbed. Only where it overwhelms man does it surrender itself to him.”

“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”
