    "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness."
    Woody Allen


  • Woody Allen
    "In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!"
    Woody Allen


  • Woody Allen

  • Jeffrey Lang
    "عندما اعتنقت الإسلام منذ أكثر من إحدى وعشرين سنة، بدا لي أنه مامن مسلم التقيته إلا وكان تواقاً ليتحدث إلى حول خصوصيات ذات حساسية يعدّها جزءاً لا يتجزأ من العقيدة والدين. كنت أرتاب في كثير مما يقال لي، ولكني حينذاك لم أكن أمتلك الوسيلة التي أتأكد بموجبها من صحة ما يقال.
    قيل لي في مناسبات عديدة: إن علي أن أرتدي ملابس شرق أوسطية، وألا أسمع موسيقا، وأن أردد الدعاء والابتهالات كلها بالعربية، وألا أصفّر، وأن آكل بيدي ولا أستخدم أدوات الطعام، وألاّ يكون عندي تلفاز، وألا أرتدي ربطة عنق، وأن أعمل على إسقاط الحكومة الأمريكية عندما تتاح الفرصة، وأن المرأة لا تستطيع مغادرة بيتها إلا بإذن زوجها، ولا تصوّت في الانتخابات، ولا يجوز لها العمل خارج البيت، وأنها لا ينبغي أن تحصل على إجازة قيادة سيارة، وأن الديمقراطية حرام، وأن عليّ تغيير اسمي إلى اسم عربي، وأن استهداف المدنين مسموح به في الجهاد، وأن ارتكاب المرأة للزنى هو أسوأ من ارتكاب الرجل له. وكثير مما يجب أن أفعله وما يجب ألا أفعله تدعمه ببراهين واهية غير مقنعة. ولو لم أكن أخذت ديني عن القرآن، ولو اعتبرت مثل هذه الادعاءات تعبر عن الإسلام حقيقة، لكنت قد تركت الدين بالتأكيد."
    Jeffrey Lang (Losing My Religion: A Call For Help)
