Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“A mountain keeps an echo deep inside. That's how I hold your voice.”
Rumi

Iain Banks
“The usual example given to illustrate an Outside Context Problem was imagining you were a tribe on a largish, fertile island; you'd tamed the land, invented the wheel or writing or whatever, the neighbours were cooperative or enslaved but at any rate peaceful and you were busy raising temples to yourself with all the excess productive capacity you had, you were in a position of near-absolute power and control which your hallowed ancestors could hardly have dreamed of and the whole situation was just running along nicely like a canoe on wet grass... when suddenly this bristling lump of iron appears sailless and trailing steam in the bay and these guys carrying long funny-looking sticks come ashore and announce you've just been discovered, you're all subjects of the Emperor now, he's keen on presents called tax and these bright-eyed holy men would like a word with your priests.”
Iain Banks

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

John Lennon
“God is a concept by which we measure our pain.”
John Lennon

Iain Banks
“Fuck every cause that ends in murder and children crying.”
Iain M. Banks, Against a Dark Background
