Seyed Mohammad > Seyed's Quotes

“In speaking of the fear of religion, I don’t mean to refer to the entirely reasonable hostility toward certain established religions and religious institutions, in virtue of their objectionable moral doctrines, social policies, and political influence. Nor am I referring to the association of many religious beliefs with superstition and the acceptance of evident empirical falsehoods. I am talking about something much deeper–namely, the fear of religion itself. I speak from experience, being strongly subject to this fear myself: I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers.

I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and, naturally, hope that I’m right in my belief. It’s that I hope there is no God! I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that.”(”The Last Word” by Thomas Nagel, Oxford University Press: 1997)”

“آدم‌ها می‌آیند
زندگی می‌کنند
می‌میرند
و می‌روند
اما
فاجعه‌ی زندگی تو
آن هنگام آغاز می‌شود
که آدمی می‌ميرد
اما
نمی‌رود
می‌ماند
و نبودنش در بودن تو
چنان ته ‌نشین می‌شود
که تو می‌میری در حالی که زنده­‌ای
و او زنده می‌شود در حالی که مرده است

از مزار که بازگشتی
قبرستان را به خانه نیاور”
