• Every now and then the stars align,
  Boy and girl meet by the great design,

  Then I saw your face
  and you blew my mind,
  Finally you and me are the lucky ones, this time

• A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member.

• See, if you put a musician in a place where he has to do something different from what he does all the time, then he can do that - but he's got to think differently in order to do it. He's got to play above what he knows - far above it. I've always told the musicians in my band to play what they know and then play above that. Because then anything can happen, and that's where great art and music happens.

  Miles Davis

  deeply?

• But then why, when talking on the phone, did they quarrel, on average at least once every four sentences? Maybe, though the inspector, it was an effect of the distance between them becoming less and less tolerable with each passing day, since as we grow old - for every now and then one must, yes, look reality in the eye and call things by their proper names - we feel more keenly the need to have the person we love beside us.

  Andrea Camilleri

• Sometimes I was too tired,
  other times just lazy. Now and then, I was frustrated because nothing seemed to be happening - no
  signs from God, no enlightenment, nothing. But that wasn't the point, the Shaykh explained. What
  mattered was the inner connection with God, which builds slowly and only transforms us gradually.
  Another obstacle, however, was that I often found it hard to concentrate during the dhikr.

• A lot of us have developed a diet mentality toward lust. We really want to cut back on lust because we know its not healthy and it makes us feel bad. But like some rich, calorie-laden chocolate dessert, lust is just too tasty to resist completely. Surely God will understand if we break our diet and nibble a little lust now and then.
