“فبقوة العلم والنطق والفهم يُضارع المَلَكَ، وبقوة الأكل والشرب والشهوة والنكاح والغضب يُشبه الحيوان. فمن صرف همته كُلَّهَا إلى تربية القوة الفكرية بالعلم والعمل، فقد لحق بأفق المَلَك، فيسمى: ملكًا وربانيًّا، كما قال تعالى: إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ، ومن صرف همته كلها إلى تربية القوة الشهوانية باتباع اللذات البدنية، يأكل كما تأكل الأنعام، فحقيق أن يُلحق بالبهايم، إمَّا غمرًا كثور، أو شرهًا كخنزير، أو عقورًا ككلب، أو حقودًا كجمل، أو متكبرًا كنمر، أو ذا حيلة ومكر كثعلب، أو يجمع ذلك كله فيصير كشيطان مريد، وإلى ذلك الإشارة بقوله تعالى: وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ الْقِرَدَةَ وَالْخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ الطَّاغُوتَ، وقد يكون كثير من الناس مَن صورته صورة إنسان، وليس في الحقيقة إلا كبعض الحيوان؛ قال الله تعالى: إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ.”

“What does a great empire do when faced with imminent invasion and destruction? It can rearm at home and seek allies abroad; but more cunningly it can revisit its history to forge a myth that will unite the people and carry them through to victory, a myth that will demonstrate to everyone that their country has been specially chosen by history to uphold justice and righteousness.”

“I believe, do you know, we never stop being what we were, young. We don't shed the young self, we just put on other skins, one cover after another, but somewhere in us is still the self we were before we fell, before we started covering ourselves. And all the rest of our lives, we're trying to go back, we're looking for it, what we lost.”
