Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d …
-Alexander Pope
"O God!
Whatever share of this world Thou hast allotted to me,
bestow it on Thine enemies.
and whatever share of the next world Thou hast allotted to me,
bestow it on Thy friends.
Thou art enough for me."
"O God! If I worship Thee in fear of Hell, burn me in Hell;
and if I worship Thee in hope of Paradise,
exclude me from Paradise;
but if I worship Thee for Thine own sake withhold not Thine Everlasting Beauty!"
-Rabia,Sufi Mystic
