“That which Dante saw written on the door of the inferno must be written in a different sense also at the entrance to philosophy: “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” Those who look for true philosophy must be bereft of all hope, all desire, all longing. They must not wish for anything, not know anything, must feel completely bare and impoverished.”
― Friedrich Schelling

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”
― Oscar Wilde

“أفهامُ الخلائقِ لاتتعلَّق بالحقيقة ، والحقيقة لاتتعلَّق بالخليقة . الخواطرُ علائقُ ، وعلائقُ الخلائقِ لاتصل إلى الحقائق . والإدراك إلى علم الحقيقة صعبٌ ، فكيف إلى حَقِّ الحقيقة؟”
