“In the wind of the mind arises the turbulence called I.It breaks; down shower the barren thoughts. All life is choked.This desert is the abyss wherein the Universe.The Stars are but thistles in that waste.Yet this desert is but one spot accursed in a world of bliss”

“Sometimes a person can find theirself lost in the barren deserts of life. The only way out of these deserts is to stay...positive. They can wander through them for a day or forty Years...It's completely their choice.”

“I have inside me the winds, the deserts, the oceans, the stars, and everything created in the universe. We were all made by the same hand, and we have the same soul.”

“Thus the great wind, the afflatus, gave breath and turbulence to all life; and inspiration clung to the minds and hearts of men.”

“My mother named me after a miracle of nature: Waris means desert flower. The desert flower blooms in a barren environment where few living things can survive.”

“And in the livid night there creeps a basilisk, spawned by the moon after its strange fashion. The moon – eternally barren - is its father, but its mother is the sand, barren likewise: this is the mystery of the desert. Many say that it is an animal, but this is not so, it is a thought, growing there where there is no earth and no seed: a thought which sprang from that which is eternally barren, and now assumes strange forms which life does not know. This is the reason that no one can describe this being, because it is like nothingness, indescribable.”
