"No human, nor any living thing, survives long under the eternal sky. The most beautiful women, the most learned men, even Mohammed, who heard Allah's own voice, all did wither and die. All is temporary. The sky outlives everything. Even suffering."
-Bowa Johar, Balti poet, and grandfather of Moufazer Ali
[From Chapter 16 of Three Cups of Tea]
