The world is just 6 things: something we eat, something we drink, something we smell, something we wear, something we ride, and something we marry. The best food that we will eat is honey, and it is the vomit of bees. The best drink that we will drink is water, and all animals drink it. The best smell that we will smell is musk, and it is the mucus of a gazelle. The best thing that we will wear is silk, and it is the excretion of a worm. The best thing that we will ride is a horse, and upon it men are killed. The best experience in the union of marriage is the meeting place of two excretory organs. That is the world. So dont be depressed about it. (Source: Taken from an audio lecture by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, entitled Rights and Responsibilities of Marriage. He was quoting Saidina Ali. I dont remember the exact quote, so I paraphrased.)
