Khayyám Quotes

“I despise the zeal of the devout, but I have never said that the One is two.
I am not one of those for whom faith is simply fear of judgement. How do I pray? I study a rose, I count the stars, I marvel at the beauty of the creation and how perfectly ordered it is, at man, the most beautiful work of the Creator, his brain thirsting for knowledge, his heart for love, and his senses, all his senses alert or gratified.”
― Amin Maalouf

“And out my cup,
life keeps pouring out, it never stops —
Like the autumn leaves;
breath by breath, they're falling off.”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Letter 19
