Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“...there is no real advance in human reason, for what we gain in one direction we lose in another; for all minds start from the same point, and as the time spent in learning what others have thought is so much time lost in learning to think for ourselves, we have more acquired knowledge and less vigor of mind. Our minds like our arms are accustomed to use tools for everything, and to do nothing for themselves.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, or On Education

أبو نواس
“دع المساجد للــعباد تسكنها***وطف بنا حول خمار ليسقينا
ما قال ربك ويل للذين سكروا***ولكن قال ويل للمـصلينا”
أبو نواس

W.B. Yeats
“Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O Never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.”
W. B. Yeats, In the Seven Woods: Being Poems Chiefly of the Irish Heroic Age

Mark Twain
“Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation.”
Mark Twain

Thomas   Moore
“Music, oh, how faint, how weak,
Language fades before thy spell!
Why should Feeling ever speak,
When thou canst breathe her soul so well?”
Thomas Moore
