They are like the East and the West and one who walks between the two, such that whenever he comes closer to one [direction], he distances himself from the other. After all, they are both like fellow-wives [seeking to pull their husband only towards themselves].

96 إنَّ الدُّنيا والآخِرَةَ عَدُوّانِ مُتَفاوِتانِ، وسَبيلانِ مُخْتَلِفانِ، فَمَنْ أحَبَّ الدُّنيا وتَوالاها أبْغضَ الآخِرَةَ وعاداها، وهُما بِمَنْزِلَةِ المَشْرِقِ وَالمَغْرِبِ وَماش بيْنَهُما، فَكُلَّما قَرُبَ مِنْ واحِد بَعُدَ مِنَ الآخَرِ، وهُما بَعْدُ ضَرَّتانِ.
