I was a hidden treasure and desired to be known:
therefore I created the creation in order to be known.
-- Sufi creation myth
Und wer unter Menschen nicht verschmachten will, muß lernen, aus allen Gläsern zu trinken; und wer unter Menschen rein bleiben will, muß verstehn, sich auch mit schmutzigem Wasser zu waschen. Und also sprach ich oft mir zum Troste: "Wohlan! Wohlauf! Altes Herz! Ein Unglück mißriet dir: genieße dies als dein - Glück!"
"It is said of Muad’Dib that once when he saw a weed trying to grow between two rocks, he moved one of the rocks. Later, when the weed was seen to be flourishing, he covered it with the remaining rock. ‘That was its fate’, he explained.
- The Commentaries"
"in that instant I was convinced" (...)
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme, et volupté.

"‘Love is like Falconry,’ he said. ‘Don’t you think that’s true, Cleveland?’
‘Never say love is like anything,’ said Cleveland. ‘It isn’t.’"
‘Never say love is like anything,’ said Cleveland. ‘It isn’t.’"
