“...humanity learns true lessons only in cataclysm.”

“Mistakes are a part of being human. Precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.”

“It seems that we learn lessons when we least expect them but always when we need them the most, and, the true gift in these lessons always lies in the learning process itself.”

“I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.”

“To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life”

“God's true language: Hebrew. Latin. Arabic. Sanskrit.As if utterance fit into the requirements of the human mouth.I learned how to find the new moon by looking for the circular absence of stars. [...]I learned God's true language is only silence and breath.”
