    علي الوردي
    “ينبغي أن نميز بين المتعلم والمثقف، فالمتعلم هو من تعلم أموراً لم تخرج عن نطاق الإطار الفكري الذي اعتاد عليه منذ صغره. فهو لم يزدد من العلم إلا مازاد في تعصبه وضيّق في مجال نظره. هو قد آمن برأي من الآراء أو مذهب من المذاهب فأخذ يسعى وراء المعلومات التي تؤيده في رأيه وتحرّضه على الكفاح في سبيله. أما المثقف فهو يمتاز بمرونة رأيه وباستعداده لتلقي كل فكرة جديدة وللتأمل فيها ولتملي وجه الصواب منها.”
    علي الوردي, خوارق اللاشعور: أو أسرار الشخصية الناجحة

    Fyodor Dostoevsky
    “Do you know, to my thinking it's a good thing sometimes to be absurd; it's better in fact, it makes it easier to forgive one another, it's easier to be humble.
