Two cool quotes...

I know I don't post anything of interest on here anymore...so, check out allijoy.blogspot.com for the up to date life story of...me...

That is, if you care.

In the meantime, here are two quotes I came across that I really like:

Living in the Shadow
Peter Abrahams <-no clue who he is.

To live with the conscious knowledge of the shadow of uncertainty, with the knowledge that disaster or tragedy could strike at any time; to be afraid and to know and acknowledge your fear, and still to live creatively and with unstinting love: that is to live with grace.

They Whose Souls Burn
Jalal al-Din Rumi: 1207 - 1273 (some Muslim dude)

I look not only at tongue and speech;
I look at the spirit and the inward feeling.
I look into the heart to see whether it be lowly...

Enough of phrases and conceits and metaphors!
I want burning, burning...

Light up a fire of love in thy soul,
Burn all thought and expression away!

Moses, they that know the conventions are of one sort;
They whose souls burn are of another.
