Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I am the servant of the Qur’an, for as long as I have a soul.
I am the dust on the road of Muhammad, the Chosen One.
If someone interprets my words in any other way,
That person I deplore, and I deplore his words.”
Jalaluddin Rumi

Stanley Kubrick
“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”
Stanley Kubrick

Franz Kafka
“Calm —indeed the calmest— reflection might be better than the most confused decisions”
Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis

Muhammad Iqbal
“If you wish to be heard in the noise of this world, let your soul be dominated by a single idea. It is the man with a single idea who creates political and social revolutions, establishes empires and gives law to the world.”
Muhammad Iqbal, Stray reflections: the private notebook of Muhammad Iqbal
