In Arabian Nights: A Caravan of Moroccan Dreams
Tahir Shah
Top 10 Best Quotes
“My father used to say that stories are part of the most precious heritage of mankind.”
“Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them.”
“Stories are a communal currency of humanity.”
“My father used to tell me that stories offer the listener a chance to escape but, more importantly, he said, they provide people with a chance to maximize their minds. Suspend ordinary constraints, allow the imagination to be freed, and we are charged with the capability of heighetned thought. Learn to use your eyes as if they are your ears, he said, and you become connected with the ancient heritage of man, a dream world for the waking mind.”
“Stories are not like the real world; they aren't held back by what we know is false or true. What's important is how a story makes you feel inside.”
“Real travel is not about the highlights with which you dazzle your friends once you're home. It's about the loneliness, the solitude, the evenings spent by yourself, pining to be somewhere else. Those are the moments of true value. You feel half proud of them and half ashamed and you hold them to your heart.”
“Believe, and what was impossible becomes possible what at first was hidden becomes visible.”
“To Succeed, you must reach for the stars, and let your imagination find its own path”
“There is nothing like a train journey for reflection.”
“We had the kind of conversations that only great friends can ever share. They were touched with magic.”
