“Does the lover think that his love can be concealed? While his eyes are shedding tears and his heart is glowing, Had it not been for love, you would not have shed tears at the ruins (of your beloved), nor would you become restless at the remembrance of the cypress (tree) at the high mountain, How do you deny love after the testimony, Borne against you by (such) reliable witnesses as your tears and your illness.”

Those who show moderation in eating find greater pleasure in their food than those who overindulge. When they become addicted and habituated to their indulgence, they find no great pleasure in it anymore, though they might suffer for want of it when they do not have it and endure ill health because of it.

“Never have I spent a night so awake, and so mindful of nothingness. Under the cover of that sky and that infinity, I recited every poem I’d ever memorized — mumbling to myself — and looked into myself as carefully as I could until dawn…”

Jalal Al-e Ahmad, in a journal entry written in Mecca and dated 29 Farvardin 1343 (10 April 1964), from Lost in the Crowd.

His Hajj narrative was interesting to read, in part because he made his pilgrimage as a somewhat skeptic observer rather than as a participant seeking spiritual gain. In one of his last journal entries, dated 10 Ordibehesht 1343 (30 April 1964), he wrote, “…I mainly came on this trip looking for my brother [who passed away while making his own pilgrimage in an earlier year]— and all those other brothers — rather than to search for God. And God is everywhere for those who believe in him.”

When asked about her Hijab by Journalists and how it is not proportionate with her level of intellect and education, she replied:

“Man in the early times was almost naked, and as his intellect evolved he started wearing clothes. What I am today and what I’m wearing represents the highest level of thought and civilization that man has achieved, and is not regressive. It’s the removal of clothes again that is regressive back to ancient times” - Noble Laurette from Yemen, Tawakul Karman
