Yep, very similar to couple quotes i hold dear, but often break.

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
Mark Twain

"We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out."
Winston Churchill

On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a day.
- Rumi

my introduction to sufism was nothing but a book cover catching my eye at a used book store. lucky it was out where i could see the cover as it wouldnt have caught my eye otherwise.

'The Sufis' 1964

The book also employed a deliberately "scattered" style; Shah wrote to Graves that its aim was to "de-condition people, and prevent their reconditioning"; had it been otherwise, he might have used a more conventional form of exposition. The book sold poorly at first, and Shah invested a considerable amount of his own money in advertising it.[19] Graves told him not to worry; even though he had some misgivings about the writing, and was hurt that Shah had not allowed him to proofread it before publication, he said he was "so proud in having assisted in its publication", and assured Shah that it was "a marvellous book, and will be recognised as such before long. Leave it to find its own readers who will hear your voice spreading, not those envisaged by Doubleday."

from the wiki concise i posted.

i discovered that there could be a profound reason behind my style of writing which ive never actually tried to do on purpose
