“Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! 'Have courage to use your own reason!'- that is the motto of enlightenment.”
― Immanuel Kant, An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment?

“قرأت كثيرًا من الكتب عن الحرب والروايات البوليسية، ولكنها لا تثيرني كثيرًا. إن الكتب التي تثير اهتمامي بالفعل هي تلك التي عندما أنتهي من قراءتها أرغب في أن يكون المؤلف صديقًا عزيزًا لي، وأستطيع أن أُخابره بالتليفون في أي وقتٍ شئت. ولكن ذلك لا يحدث كثيرًا.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“Lovers find secret places
inside this violent world
where they make transactions
with beauty.”
― Rumi
