Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.”

“Imagine what would have happened had the logicist endeavor been entirely successful. This would have implied that mathematics stems fully from logic-literally from the laws of thought. But how could such a deductive science so marvelously fit natural phenomena? What is the relation between formal logic (maybe we should even say human formal logic) and the cosmos? The answer did not become any clearer after Hilbert and Godel. Now all that existed was an incomplete formal "game," expressed in mathematical language. How could models based on such an "unreliable" system produce deep insights about the universe and its workings?”

“We walk in darkness with phantoms and spectres we know not of, and our little world plunges blindly through abysses toward a goal of which we have no conception. That thought itself is a blow at our beliefs and comprehension. We used to content ourselves by thinking we knew all about our world, at least; but now it is different, and we wonder if we really know anything, or if there can be safety and peace anywhere in the wide universe.”

“هذا هو رؤوف علوان .. الحقيقة العارية ، جثة عفنة لا يواريها تراب ، فقد مضى كأمس ، أو كأول يوم في التاريخ ،أو كحب نبوية ، أو كولاء عليش .. أنت لا تنخدع بالمظاهر ، فالكلام الطيب مكر ، و الابتسامة شفة تتقلص ، و الجود حركة دفاع من أنامل اليد ، ولولا الحياء ما أذن لك بتجاوز العتبة ، تخلقنى ثم ترتد ، تغير بكل بساطة فكرك بعدما تجسد في شخصى ، كى أجد نفسى ضائعا بلا أصل و بلا قيمة و بلا أمل.. أتقر بخيانتك ولو بينك و بين نفسك ؟ ألا يستيقظ ضميرك ولو في الظلام ؟”
