How many words in how many books and articles and blogs and journals?

“I begin with the principle that all men are bores. Surely no one will prove himself so great a bore as to contradict me in this.”

Søren Kierkegaard

“And how should a beautiful, ignorant stream of water know it heads for an early release – out across the desert, running toward the Gulf, below sea level, to murmur its lullaby, and see the Imperial Valley rise out of burning sand with cotton blossoms, wheat, watermelons, roses, how should it know?”

Carl Sandbur

““Beloved, show me the way out of this prison.
Make me needless of both worlds.
Pray, erase from mind all
that is not You.

Have mercy Beloved,
though I am nothing but forgetfulness,
You are the essence of forgiveness.
Make me needless of all but You.”

Abil Kheir, Shaikh Abu Saeed.
