“إلى التي سارت معي في الأشواك ، فدميت و دميت و شقيت و شقيت ، ثم سارت في طريق و سرت في طريق : جريحين بعد المعركة .. لا نفسها إلى قرار و لا نفسي إلى استقرار”

“At night I would return home, set out a lamp before me, and devote myself to reading and writing. Whenever sleep overcame me or I became conscious of weakening, I would turn aside to drink a cup of wine, so that my strength would return to me. Then I would return to reading. And whenever sleep seized me I would see those very problems in my dream; and many questions became clear to me in my sleep. I continued in this until all of the sciences were deeply rooted within me and I understood them as is humanly possible. Everything which I knew at the time is just as I know it now; I have not added anything to it to this day. Thus I mastered the logical, natural, and mathematical sciences, and I had now reached the science.”
