“يبدو اننا جميعا بحاجة كي نؤمن بأحد ما أو شيء ما. فالحياة دون معنى او اتجاه بائسة حقا. ويبدو
انه يتوجب ان نحيا من اجل هدف او شيء ما عزيز علينا ونموت من اجله، سواء كان هذا الهدف او الشيء مبدأ سياسي او خطة حياتية او أمة او
حلما او فكرة او مالا او اسرة. اعتقد ان التقديس هو جبلة في الانسان، وأن قدرنا هو أن نكون عبيدا سواء شئنا ذلك ام ابينا.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“والإسلام هو عقيدة الرجل الذي يفكر.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“النقطة المهمة ليست في وجوب أن يعرف الإنسان الله ويعبده، بل هي أنه يجب على الإنسان أن يختار بحرية تامة أن يعرف الله ويعبده.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“ من الخطأ الجسيم الإنقياد بطاعة عمياء للأقدمين ،،، وأن تؤيد آراؤهم وكأنها العقيد نفسها ،،،
إلا إذا كان لدى المرء الإستعدادد للقبول بالتوقف عن النمو ،،، وبالتالي اللإهتراء وعدم التجدد ”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“even in our most intense worship, we should not forget that our relationship to god is tied to our relationship with others.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“I told her that we go to work to provide for our families, attend school functions that our children are involved in, take a few pieces of cake we just baked over to our neighbor next door, drive our children to school in the morning. “No! No!” She said. “How do you worship?” I said we make love to our spouses, smile and greet someone we pass on the street, help our children with their homework, hold open a door for someone behind us. “Worship! I’m asking about worship!” She exclaimed. I asked her exactly what she had in mind. “You know-Rituals!” She insisted. I answered her that we practice those also and that they are a very important part of Muslim worship. I was not trying to frustrate her, but I answered her in this way in order to emphasize Islam’s comprehensive conception of worship.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“ في لحظة من اللحظات الخاصة في حياتنا - لحظة لم نتنبأ من قبل أن نمر بها عندما نكبر_منَّ الله بواسع من علمه ورحمته وعطفه علينا_،،،
بعد أن وجد فينا من العذاب ما نكابد ،،، ومن الألم ما نشعر به ،،، ومن عظيم الحاجة إلى ملء الخواء الكبير الروحي في أنفسنا ،،،
وبعد أن وجد لدينا الإستعداد الكبير لقبول ذلك ،،،
وعلى كل حال فقد حقق الله لنا ذلك ،،،
فله الشكر والمنة إلى يوم الدين ”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“إن الإسلام في السعودية قد توقف أن يكون قوة للتغيير الشخصي, وسرعان ما شعرت أن الحيوية قد نبضت من إيماني.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“ويبدو أن كل مجتمع يثبت شرفه و أعرافه و تقاليده و استقراره على نسائه, ولذلك إذا ما خرجت الأنثى عن الخط تفتح أبواب الحجيم, وتدور الدوائر على ذلك المجتمع.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“Personal ignorance should be admitted, but it should not be allowed to place limits and bounds on the ways 'and means of revelation.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“تتملك الدكتور لانغ الشجاعة ليقترح أن على كل جيل من المسلمين أن يعيد البحث في أساسيات الإيمان على اعتبار "أن المعرفة تنمو مع الزمن.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“ومع ذلك فإني أكره أن أرى بحث أولادي منتهياً حيث انتهيت, بل إن أملي الكبير هو أن يبدؤوا من حيث أنتهي, وذلك لأنه ليس ثمة جواب نهائي و كامل لأي إنسان.”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“و هدف المسلم المؤمن هو أن يُصبح باستمرار مُتلقياً و مُرسلاً لبهاء الله المطلق، و أن يقترب ما استطاع من مصدر كل ما هو جميل، و أن يقبل أن يكون رسولاً لمن له الأسماء الحُسنى، و من هنا يكون بحق خليفة الله على الأرض كما جاء في الآية الثلاثين من سورة البقرة”
― Jeffrey Lang, quote from Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America
“فى حين أن نموّنا ما قبل الولادة هو نموّ جسدى بالدرجة الأولى ,فإن تطورنا الدنيوي هو بشكل رئيسي تطور أخلاقي وروحى”

“Scarlett was not fond of fate. She liked to believe if she were good, good things would happen. Fate left her feeling powerless, and hopeless, and with an overall feeling of lessness. To her, fate seemed like a larger, omnipotent version of her father, stealing her choices and controlling her life without any regard for her feelings. Fate meant that nothing she did mattered.”
― Stephanie Garber, quote from Caraval
“in this life, living, there is no dignity except perhaps in laughter.”

“I suppose the truth is simply that it was possible for benefits like these to accrue only to a Negro lucky enough to remain in the poor but relatively benign atmosphere of Virginia. For here in this worn-out country with its decrepit little farms there was still an ebb and flow of human sympathy—no matter how strained and imperfect—between slave and master, even an understanding (if sometimes prickly) intimacy; and in this climate a black man had not yet become the cipher he would become in the steaming fastnesses of the far South but could get off in the woods by himself or with a friend, scratch his balls and relax and roast a stolen chicken over an open fire and brood upon women and the joys of the belly or the possibility of getting hold of a jug of brandy, or pleasure himself with thoughts of any of the countless tolerable features of human existence.”

Edge of EternityBookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
