Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Macbeth's self-justifications were feeble – and his conscience devoured him. Yes, even Iago was a little lamb, too. The imagination and spiritual strength of Shakespeare's evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses. Ideology—that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors. That was how the agents of the Inquisition fortified their wills: by invoking Christianity; the conquerors of foreign lands, by extolling the grandeur of their Motherland; the colonizers, by civilization; the Nazis, by race; and the Jacobins (early and late), by equality, brotherhood, and the happiness of future generations.... Without evildoers there would have been no Archipelago.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Barbara Oakley
“Procrastination expert Rita Emmett explains: “The dread of doing a task uses up more time and energy than doing the task itself.”
Barbara Oakley, A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science

Joshua D. Greene
“Instead, the lesson is that false beliefs, once they’ve become culturally entrenched—once they’ve become tribal badges of honor—are very difficult to change, and changing them is no longer simply a matter of educating people.”
Joshua D. Greene, Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them

“قال المهلهل التغلبي يرثي أخاه كليبا :

أَهَاجَ قَذَاءَ عَيْنِي الإِذكَارُ
هُدُوّاً فَالدُّمُوعُ لَهَا انْحِدَارُ
وَصَارَ اللَّيْلُ مُشْتَمِلاً عَلَيْنَا
كَأَنَّ اللَّيْلَ لَيْسَ لَهُ نَهَارُ
وَبِتُّ أُرَاقِبُ الْجَوْزَاءَ حَتَّى
تَقَارَبَ مِنْ أَوَائِلِها انْحِدَارُ
أُصَرفُ مُقْلَتِي فِي إِثْرِ قَوْمٍ
تَبَايَنَتِ الْبِلاَدُ بِهِمْ فَغَارُوا
وَأَبْكِي وَالنُّجُومُ مُطَلعَاتٌ
كَأَنْ لَمْ تَحْوِهَا عَني الْبِحَارُ
عَلَى مَنْ لَوْ نُعيت وَكَانَ حَيّاً
لَقَادَ الخَيْلَ يَحْجُبُهَا الغُبَارُ
دَعَوْتُكَ يَا كُلَيْبُ فَلَمْ تُجِبْنِي
وَكَيْفَ يُجِيبُنِي الْبَلَدُ القِفَارُ
أَجِبْنِي يَا كُلَيْبُ خَلاَكَ ذَمٌّ
ضَنِينَاتُ النُّفُوسِ لَهَا مَزَارُ
أَجِبْنِي يَا كُلَيْبُ خَلاَكَ ذَمٌّ
لَقَدْ فُجِعَتْ بِفَارِسِهَا نِزَارُ
سَقَاكَ الْغَيْثُ إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ غَيْثاً
وَيُسْراً حِينَ يُلْتَمَسُ الْيَسَارُ
أَبَتْ عَيْنَايَ بَعْدَكَ أَنْ تَكُفَّا
كَأَنَّ غَضَا الْقَتَادِ لَهَا شِفَارُ
وَإِنَّكَ كُنْتَ تَحْلُمُ عَنْ رِجَالٍ
وَتَعْفُو عَنْهُمُ وَلَكَ اقْتِدَارُ
وَتَمْنَعُ أَنْ يَمَسَّهُمُ لِسَانٌ
مَخَافَةَ مَنْ يُجِيرُ وَلاَ يُجَارُ
وَكُنْتُ أَعُدُّ قُرْبِي مِنْكَ رِبْحاً
إِذَا مَا عَدَّتِ الربْحَ التجَارُ
فَلاَ تَبْعَدْ فَكُلٌّ سَوْفَ يَلْقَى
شَعُوباً يَسْتَدِيرُ بِهَا الْمَدَارُ
يَعِيشُ المَرْءُ عِنْدَ بَنِي أَبِيهِ
وَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يَصِيرَ بِحَيْثُ صَارُوا
أَرَى طُولَ الْحَيَاةِ وَقَدْ تَوَلَّى
كَمَا قَدْ يُسْلَبُ الشَّيْءُ المُعَارُ
كَأَنِّي إذْ نَعَى النَّاعِي كُلَيْباً
تَطَايَرَ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيَّ الشَّرَارُ
فَدُرْتُ وَقَدْ عَشِي بَصَرِي عَلَيْهِ
كَمَا دَارَتْ بِشَارِبِهَا العُقَارُ
سَأَلْتُ الْحَيَّ أَيْنَ دَفَنْتُمُوهُ
فَقَالُوا لِي بِسَفْحِ الْحَي دَارُ
فَسِرْتُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بَلَدِي حَثِيثاً
وَطَارَ النَّوْمُ وَامْتَنَعَ القَرَارُ
وَحَادَتْ نَاقَتِي عَنْ ظِل قَبْرٍ
ثَوَى فِيهِ المَكَارِمُ وَالْفَخَارُ
لَدَى أَوْطَانِ أَرْوَعَ لَمْ يَشِنْهُ
وَلَمْ يَحْدُثْ لَهُ فِي النَّاسِ عَارُ
أَتَغْدُوا يَا كُلَيْبُ مَعِي إِذَا مَا
جَبَانُ الْقَوْمِ انْجاهُ الْفِرَارُ
أَتَغْدُوا يا كليبُ معي إذا ما
خُلُوقُ القومِ يشحذُها الشفَارُ
أَقُولُ لِتَغْلِبٍ وَالْعِزُّ فِيهَا
أَثِيروهَا لِذَلِكُمُ انْتِصَارُ
تَتَابَعَ إِخْوَتِي وَمَضَوْا لأَمْرٍ
عَلَيْهِ تَتَابَعَ الْقَوْمُ الحِسَارُ
خُذِ الْعَهْدَ الأَكِيدَ عَلَيَّ عُمْرِي
بِتَرْكِي كُلَّ مَا حَوَتِ الديَارُ
وَهَجْرِي الْغَانِيَاتِ وَشُرْبَ كَأْسٍ
وَلُبْسِي جُبَّةً لاَتُسْتَعَارُ
وَلَسْتُ بِخَالِعٍ دِرْعِي وَسَيْفِي
إِلَى أَنْ يَخْلَعَ اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارُ”
أحمد الهاشمي, جواهر الأدب في أدبيات لغة العرب #2

Jim Al-Khalili
“... classical Arabic, being the language of the Qur'an, has not changed at all in fourteen centuries, making the writings of the early Islamic scholars as accessible today as they were then.”
Jim Al-Khalili
