    From a paper I read about coercion in eusocial insects:

    The stinging honeybee worker commits suicide when her sting is torn out, but this saves her kin. She is not making an escape from outrageous fortune, but making the best of it - not fearful of what dreams may come, but hopeful for what genes may come. However socially constrained her life may have been, her last action makes her own clear statement: long live the kin! - David C. Queller

    'I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside.'

    'When you don't want to feel, death can seem like a dream. But seeing death, really seeing it, makes dreaming about it fucking ridiculous. Maybe, there's a moment growing up when something peels back... Maybe, maybe, we look for secrets because we can't believe our minds...'

    ''I've wasted a year of my life. Maybe everyone out there is a liar. And maybe the whole world is "stupid" and "ignorant" but I'd rather be in it. I'd rather be fucking in it than down here with you.''

    'The fact that you could be such a towering intellect, such a lord of language and be charming and graceful, kind, good natured, but also unhappy and unlucky was a great discovery for an adolescent, because one of the traps of adolescence is the sort of paranoid resentment that somehow you’re never going to match up and that everybody else’s life is going to be better and finer and fuller. That everyone else attended some secret lesson in which how to live was taught and you had a dental appointment that day or you were somehow not invited and the point of great writers like Wilde is that they make that invitation to you. They welcome it.' - Stephen Fry

    Here is a poem by Abd Al-Rahman, the First Umayyad Caliph of Spain:

    Quote
    A palm tree stands in the middle of Rusafa,
    Born in the West, far from the land of palms.
    I said to it: How like me you are, far away and in exile,
    In long separation from family and friends.
    You have sprung from the soil in which you are a stranger;
    And I, like you, am far from home.

    source

    Is this better than the Quran? It is certainly gentler, more subtle, more humble, and more humane. It touches on human emotions like loneliness, nostalgia for one's homeland and lost youth, and the loss of loved ones and it does all this in a couple of simple lines and 1 single metaphor.

    Is there anything like this in the Quran?

    ^ Nice. The Caliph al-Mamun was also a better poet than Allah in my opinion:

    Sleepless, I watch the heavens turn
    Propelled by the motions of the spheres;
    Those stars spell out (I don't know how)
    The weal and woe of future years.
    If I flew up to the starry vault
    And joined the heavens' westward flow
    I would learn, as I travelled the sky
    The fate of all things here below.

    "As Lord Kelvin once rather pompously declared, 'Until you have measured something, you don't know what you are talking about'. Of course, Lord Kelvin is now famous for having deduced from the temperature of the earth that it could be no more than a few hundred thousand years old, thus demonstrating that even if you have measure it, you still may not know what you are talking about" - Steven Austad, Why We Age

    One is reminded of the perhaps apocryphal story about Samuel Gompers, who once gave testimony at a trial involving alleged Communist infiltration into the labor movement. The Communist defense attorney cross-examined Mr Gompers:

    "Mr. Gompers, can you tell the Court, what is the goal of the American labor movement?"
            "Very simply," said Gompers, "in one word: More."
            "And when you have achieved more, what will be your goal then, Mr Gompers?"
            "More."
            "And after that, then what?"
            "More."
    At which point the attorney addressed the bench:
            "You see, your honor, the American labor movement is far more radical than the Communist party. We only want everything."

    If you see your neighbor in sin, don't look only at this, but also think about what he has done or does that is good, and infrequently trying this in general, while not partialy judging, you will find that he is better than you.

    "...the existence of the Babel fish to try to prove that God does not exist.
    The whole argument runs, roughly, as follows.

    (1) God refuses to prove that (S)He exists because proof denies faith and without faith God is nothing.
    (2) Man then counters that the Babel fish is a dead giveaway because it could not have evolved by chance. So the fish proves that God exists - but hence also, by God's own reasoning (see 1) that God does not exist.
    (3) God says that (S)He hadn't thought of that (hadn't thought of 2) and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
    It should be noted that most leading theologians (together with the original author of this article) think that Colluphid's argument is "a load of dingo's kidneys...."

    Tell people that there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you.
