• What was the question? ...Oh. Where do I get my crazy ideas? Answer: sleep-fairy, walk-fairy, shower-fairy. Book-fairy. And in these last few years, from my wife. Now when I have questions I ask her and she tells me the answer. If you haven't already, I'd suggest you want to find your soulmate, as soon as you can. Next question?

• People have become separated from their bodies. They are no longer whole. I see them move from their offices to their cars and on to their suburban homes. They stress out constantly, they lose sleep, they eat badly. And they behave badly. Their egos run wild; they become motivated by that which will eventually give them a massive stroke. They need the Iron Mind.

  Henry Rollins

• Stay close by the door, if you desire all beauty
  And leave aside sleep, if you wish to arrive
  And make of the spirit your first place of account
  To the beloved, whose lights shine as from gold
  All of them worship out of fear of the fire �
  And consider deliverance abundant good fortune -
  Or, so they may dwell in the gardens, and reach
  To the meadows of paradise, and there drink from its rivers
  Of gardens or fire I have no opinion
  I seek no exchange for my dearest love

  Rabia Basri

  Wisdom, Islamic, Love Is

  Your devotion is your strength;

  If you ignore it, if you waste it,
  You will only turn to dust.

• When in the evening we are alone with our most existential thoughts, it is then that we come face to face with the most precious truths that we discover in our brief existence in this world. Just before fatigue envelopes us, taking us into sleep. We think of what our lives actually mean. And then we know how lucky we are if we still enjoy consciousness, rationality and love. But the greatest of these is love.

  Michael Kirby

• The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat, to drink, and sleep; to be exposed to darkness and the light; to pace around in the mill of habit, and turn thought into an instrument of trade-this is not life. Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to the mechanism of existence.

  James Martineau
