Michel de Montaigne
“All beings share a common world, but each creature has its own way of perceiving this world.”
Montaigne

William  James
“Our next duty, having recognized this mixed-up state of affairs, is to ask whether it be simply reprehensible and pathological, or whether, on the contrary, we must treat it as a normal element in making up our minds. The thesis I defend is, briefly stated, this: Our passional nature not only lawfully may, but must, decide an option between propositions, whenever it is a genuine option that cannot by its nature be decided on intellectual grounds; for to say, under such circumstances, "Do not decide, but leave the question open," is itself a passional decision,—just like deciding yes or no,—and is attended with the same risk of losing the truth. The thesis thus abstractly expressed will, I trust, soon become quite clear. But I must first indulge in a bit more of preliminary work.”
William James, The Will to Believe

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

عنترة بن شداد
“ولقد ذكرتك والرماح نواهل ............ منّي وبيض الهند تقطر من دمي
فودتت تقبيل السيوف لأنها .......... لمعت كبارق ثغرك المتبسم”
عنترة بن شداد

Craig Groeschel
“OUR LIVES ARE ALWAYS MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF OUR strongest thoughts. What we think shapes who we are.”
Craig Groeschel, Winning the War in Your Mind: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life
