“و هذا هو الفرق بيننا وبينكم يا معشر الأنس .. إن كل رغبتكم تنحصر في أن تعرفوا المجهول ، و ما أن يصبح هذا المجهول معلوما حتي يفقد قيمته لديك .. !”

“Think that you have to die someday, maybe this morning.”
“I think of it all the time, and so I play hooky from the office and let myself bask in the sun.”

“Only God was able to create a free creature, and freedom could only arise by the act of creation. Freedom is not the result or product of evolution. Freedom and product are disparate ideas. God does not produce or construct. He creates. We used to say the same for artists, for the artist who constructs does not create a personality but rather a poster of man. A personality cannot be constructed. Maybe sooner or later, during this century or after a million years of continued civilization, man will succeed in constructing an imitation of himself, a kind of robot or monster, something similar to its constructor. This human-looking monster may look very much like man, but one thing is certain: it will never have freedom. Without a divine touch, the result of evolution would not have been man, but rather a developed animal, a super-animal, a creature with a human body and intelligence but without a heart and personality. ”
