“من وجهة نظر أدبية بحتة، القرآن لا يمتلك أيّة ميّزات أو مزايا. كلام خطابي، تكرار، عبارات طفولية، افتقار تام للمنطق والتناسق يصدم القارئ عند كل منعطف فيه. من الغريب والمهين جداً للذكاء والفطنة البشرية الاعتقاد أنّ هذا النوع من الأدب العادي كان موضوع تفسيرات وأبحاث وتأويلات لا تحصى، وأنّ ملايين
البشر ما زالوا يهدرون وقتهم بالاستغراق فيه”
― Salomon Reinach, Orpheus: A History of Religions

“The isolated man does not develop any intellectual power. It is necessary for him to be immersed in an environment of other men, whose techniques he absorbs during the first twenty years of his life. He may then perhaps do a little research of his own and make a very few discoveries which are passed on to other men. From this point of view the search for new techniques must be regarded as carried out by the human community as a whole, rather than by individuals.”
― Alan Turing

“Butterflies are nature’s tragic heroes. They live most of their lives being completely ordinary. And then, one day, the unexpected happens. They burst from their cocoons in a blaze of colors and become utterly extraordinary. It is the shortest phase of their lives, but it holds the greatest importance. It shows us how empowering change can be.”
― Kelseyleigh Reber, If I Resist

“You want to be free. You also want to be mine. You can't be both.”
