“Weininger observed that nothing is more baffling for a man than a woman’s response when caught in a lie. When asked why she is lying, she is unable to understand the question, acts astonished, bursts out crying, or seeks to pacify him by smiling . She cannot understand the ethical and transcendental side of lying or the fact that a lie represents damage to being and, as was acknowledged in ancient Iran, constitutes a crime even worse than killing. It is nonsense to deduce this trait in women from sociological factors; some people say that a lie is the “natural weapon” of the woman and therefore used in her defense for hundreds of years. The truth, pure and simple, is that woman is prone to lie and to disguise her true self even when she has no need to do so; this is not a social trait acquired in the struggle for existence, but something linked to her deepest and most genuine nature. Just as the absolute woman does not truly feel that lying is wrong, so in her, contrary to man, lying is not wrong, nor is it an inner yielding or a breaking of her own existential law. It is a possible counterpart of her plastic and fluid
nature. A type such as D’Aurevilly described is perfectly understandable: “She made a habit of lying to the point where it became truth; it was so simple and natural, without any effort or alleviation." Ii is foolish to judge woman with the values of the absolute man even in cases where, by doing violence to her own self, she makes a show of following those values and even sincerely believes that she is following them.”

“أيها القلب! لماذا أنت أسير لهذا الهيكل الترابي الزائل؟
ألا فلتنطلق خارج تلك الحظيرة، فإنك طائر من عالم الروح.
إنك رفيق خلوة الدلال، والمقيم وراء ستر الأسرار
فكيف تجعل مقامك في هذا القرار الفاني؟
انظر إلى حالك واخرج منها وارتحل
من حبس عالم الصورة إلى مروج عالم المعاني
إنك طائر العالم القدسي، نديم المجلس الأنسي
فمن الحيف أن تظل باقياً في هذا المقام ~”
