The world may be known Without leaving the house;
The Sky may be seen Apart from the windows.
The further you go, The less you will know.

People are always saying you should be yourself, like yourself is this definite thing, like a toaster. Like you know what it is even... (Angela Chase in My So Called Life)
Eccentrico, sfuggente, vago. Il piacere di meravigliare e di non essere mai uguale, sempre altrove.

What is in your head abandon it, what is in your hand leave it, what happens to you face it.
Ce qui est dans ta tête abandonne-le, ce que tu as dans ta main laisse-le, ce qui t'arrive affronte-le.
Quello che hai in testa abbandonalo, quello che hai in mano lascialo, quello che ti accade affrontalo.
Abu Sa'id ibn Abi Al-Khair, in Mohammed ibn Al-Munawwar, Asrar Al-Tawhid

Accostumed as we are to our Western ideas of the importance of life, it is difficult to adjust our thoughts to a different scale of values. And yet to the Oriental mind, it is simple enough. Death is bound to come - it is as inevitable as birth; whether it comes early or late it is entirely at the will of Allah. And that belief, that acquiescence, does away with what has become the curse of our present-day world - anxiety. There may not be freedom from want, but there is certainly freedom from fear. And idleness is a blessed and natural state - work is the unnatural necessity. Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie Mallowan

[...] If you choose to go out with a Palestinian terrorist, you can hardly expect him to be a gay libber into the bargain, I thought. Besides, what gay man wants a gay libber for a lover when he can have a Palestinian commando? It was the ultimate gay dilemma. [...] From Cleopatra's Wedding Present by Robert Tewdwr Moss.
