Bertolt Brecht

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

C. S. Lewis

A woman who loves her husband is merely paying her bills. A woman who loves her lover gives alms to the poor.

Paul-Jean Toulet

The word Habib in Arabic means both lover and beloved. At the heart of it is that the Prophet loves God, God loves him. But God designated him to be also the founder of a new world order of a civilization of a society.
