― Muhammad Asad

“I am the servant of the Qur’an, for as long as I have a soul.

If someone interprets my words in any other way,
That person I deplore, and I deplore his words.”
― Jalaluddin Rumi

“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

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