Then they fell from a joyous life in the moment into the anxious contemplation of the vanished past and the distant future."
"With no doubt Al Hussain was one of the greatest rebels, for correcting the path of rulers who deviated from the right path. He, by his stance honorably acquired martyrdom martyrdom that free people wish to acquire."
