#sufism created community in every age and era since the time of Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, to whom all sufis look as inspiration, role model and guide. The sufis were able to have a immense impact on the societies in which they functioned...
Read. Everything you can get your hands on. Read until words become your friends. Them when you need to find one, they will jump into your mind, waving their hands for you to pick them. And you can select whichever you like, just like a captain choos...
On the one hand, I'm so relieved that I've actually managed to finish my very first series and that I've been able to see my characters through to the end of their journeys. On the other hand, I feel like how parents must feel when they send their ki...
He raised his hand to brush a stray hair from her face. Instead of dropping his hand, he slid it behind her neck and drew her closer. His earthy pine scent enveloped her. When his lips touched hers, she lost any hope of control.

The problem is once you've written the opening paragraph and worked out how the rest of the story will go in your head, there's nothing in it for you. I write in longhand using disposable fountain pens on the right-hand side of the notebook for the f...
The kosmos works by harmony of tensions, like lyre and bow. Good and evil are one. On the one hand God sees all as well, fair, and good; on the other hand a human being sees injustice here, justice there. Justice in our minds is strife. We cannot hel...
Before the operation on my left hand I wasn't able to stretch my fingers open all the way. I've never had very big hands, but I could do the splits with them. Eventually I couldn't any more. I had a twisted tendon in my little finger that prevented m...
We were playing a fair, and a few people were handing me stuffed animals and flowers, but one person handed me a paper sack. So I took all the stuff back to the bus. I put the sack in my lap and opened it, and a live iguana jumped out of the sack and...
Hendrix was the bass player for Little Richard. We were both left-handed, but we would use a right-handed guitar held upside down and backwards. He developed my slides and my riffs. In fact he used to say, and this is documented, 'I patterned my styl...
There are people who specialise in lettering, and I've had my hand lettering made into a digital font. I picked up a copy of the 'Dandy' the other week, and I was amazed to see that it was completely lettered in my hand-lettering font. It was quite a...
McCoy: [handing Kirk a birthday gift, after Kirk hands him the Romulan ale] Now you open this one. Kirk: [taking gift] I'm almost afraid to. What is it, Klingon aphrodisiacs? McCoy: No. More antiques for your collection.
An evil fate has deprived me of the full use of my right hand, so that I am not able to play my compositions as I feel them. The trouble with my hand is that certain fingers have become so weak, probably through writing and playing too much at one ti...
Captain, Road Prison 36: You run one time, you got yourself a set of chains. You run twice you got yourself two sets. You ain't gonna need no third set, 'cause you gonna get your mind right.
Sal: The fuck is wrong with you? This ain't about money. I could give a fuck about money. You see this fucking place? I built this fucking place with my bare fucking hands. Every light socket, every piece of tile - me, with these fucking hands.
Field Hand: Quittin time! Quittin time! Big Sam - Field Foreman: Who says its quittin time? Field Hand: I says its quittin time! Big Sam - Field Foreman: I's the foreman. I's the one who says when its quittin time at Tara. Quittin time!

Lakha: See how badly hurt I am? Gauri: Hurt? It's my father you need. Not me. Father? Lakha has cut his hand. Ishwar: He seems to cut his hand more than he cuts wood.
Sheriff of Nottingham: [to Otto as he's sitting down] Let me give you a hand with that leg. [lifts up Otto's leg] Sheriff of Nottingham: Upsie-daisy. [farthings fall out of Otto's cast into the Sheriff's hand] Sheriff of Nottingham: Bingo! Oh, what t...
Drag Queen: Only a little rat bastard like Andre could have done something like cut off all the victims' hands. Inspector William Armstrong: Zodiac didn't cut off any of the victims' hands. Drag Queen: Are you sure? Inspector William Armstrong: Yes, ...
If I should have a daughter, instead of 'Mom,' she's gonna call me 'Point B,' because that way she knows that no matter what happens, at least she can always find her way to me. And I'm going to paint solar systems on the backs of her hands so she ha...
