“في الطبيعة قوى ثلاث غيبية: الوحي و العقل و القلب. فإن مال المرء جهة الوحي صار ظاهريا. و إن مال جهة العقل صار فيلسوفا. و إن مال جهة القلب صار صوفيا.”
― محمد حسن علوان, موت صغير

“I’ve seen too many intellectuals lately. I get very tired of the precious intellects who must speak diamonds every time they open their mouths. I get tired of battling for each space of air for the mind. That’s why I stayed away from people for so long, and now that I am meeting people, I find that I must return to my cave.”
― Charles Bukowski

“People who believe themselves ignorant of nothing have neither looked for, nor stumbled upon, the boundary between what is known and unknown in the cosmos. And therein lies a fascinating dichotomy. “The universe always was,” gets no respect as a legitimate answer to “What was around before the beginning?” But for many religious people, the answer, “God always was,” is the obvious and pleasing answer to “What was around before God?”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson, Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution
