“What crime have these children committed that they should be born? If,”
― Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy

“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“You have learnt so much
And read a thousand books.
Have you ever read your Self?
You have gone to mosques and temples.
Have you ever visited your soul?
You are busy fighting Satan.
Have you ever fought your
Ill intentions?
You have reached into the skies,
But you have failed to reach
What's in your heart!”
― Bulleh Shah, Sufi Lyrics

“رات یوں دل میں تری کھوئی ہوئی یاد آئی
جیسے ویرانے میں چپکے ے بہار آجائے
جیسے صحراؤں میں ہولے سے چلے بادِ نسیم
جیسے بیمار کو بے وجہ قرار آجائے”
― Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Nuskha ha-e Wafa / نسخہ ہائے وفا
