Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Knowledge that is acquired
is not like this. Those who have it worry if
audiences like it or not.
It's a bait for popularity.
Disputational knowing wants customers.
It has no soul...
The only real customer is God.
Chew quietly
your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay
playfully childish.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
