"Like a double edged sword, our greatest strengths are often also our greatest weaknesses. For me, that has always been caring too much and feeling too intensely. Its allowed me to understand and deeply connect to people, but has also been the cause of a lot of heartache. For everything there is a price."

Yasmin Mogahed  (via thelittlephilosopher)

"Release me from these countless pains, from this tired heart and seared chest. A lifetime has passed in anguish for separation from the Beloved. I am a bird in fire and a fish out of water."

Imam Khomeini (ra)
