“كم هي محدودة تلك التي نُسميها إرادتنا , وكم هو هائل وغير محدود قدرنا”
علي عزت بيجوفيتش, الإسلام بين الشرق والغرب

Alija Izetbegović
“لايوجد شئ أسمى وأعمق من الإيمان,ولاشئ أكثر غباء ومللا من بعض المؤمنين.”
علي عزت بيجوفيتش, هروبي إلى الحرية

Søren Kierkegaard
“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”
Søren Kierkegaard

Ernest Becker
“Kierkegaard gives us some portrait sketches of the styles of denying possibility, or the lies of character-which is the same thing. He is intent on describing what we today call "inauthentic" men, men who avoid developing their own uniqueness; they follow out the styles of automatic and uncritical living in which they were conditioned as children. They are "inauthentic" in that they do not belong to themselves, are not "their own" person, do not act from their own center, do not see reality on its terms; they are the one-dimensional men totally immersed in the fictional games being played in their society, unable to transcend their social conditioning: the corporation men in the West, the bureaucrats in the East, the tribal men locked up in tradition-man everywhere who doesn't understand what it means to think for himself and who, if he did, would shrink back at the idea of such audacity and exposure.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Alija Izetbegović
“الصلاة لا يمكن أدائها إلا بضبط الوقت والإنجاه في المكان الصحيح فاحتاج المسلمون إلى علم الفلك, والزكاة تحتاج إلى إحصاء ودليل وحساب, سنجد أن المجتمع المسلم بدون أن يمارس أي شيء إلا هذه الأعمدة الخمسة يجب عليه أن يبلغ حداً أدنى من الحضارة , معنى هذا أن الإنسان لا يستطيع أن يكون مسلماً ويبقى متخلفاً. وتاريخ العلوم الإسلامية تبين لنا أن تطور جميع الميادين العلمية في القرن الأول قد بدأت بمحاولات تحقيق الفرائض الإسلامية بأكبر دقة ممكنة.”
علي عزت بيجوفيتش, الإسلام بين الشرق والغرب
