“الناس على ثلاثة أصناف : صنف ليس هو من أهل التأويل وهم الخطابيون الذين هم الجمهور الغالب , وصنف هو من أهل التأويل الجدلى وهم الجدليون بالطبع أو بالطبع والعادة . وصنف هو من أهل التأويل اليقينى وهؤلاء هم البرهانيون بالطبع والصناعة , أعنى : صناعة الحكمة”
― ابن رشد, فصل المقال فيما بين الحكمة والشريعة من الاتصال

“Thought and cognition are not the same. Thought, the source of art works, is manifest without transformation or transfiguration in all great philosophy, whereas the chief manifestation of the cognitive processes, by which we acquire and store up knowledge, is the sciences. Cognition always pursues a definite aim, which can be set by practical considerations as well as by “idle curiosity”; but once this aim is reached, the cognitive process has come to an end. Thought, on the contrary, has neither an end nor an aim outside itself, and it does not even produce results; not only the utilitarian philosophy of homo faber but also the men of action and the lovers of results in the sciences have never tired of pointing out how entirely “useless” thought is—as useless, indeed, as the works of art it inspires.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition

“Whatever happens to you...
Don’t fall in despair,

Even if all the doors are closed...
A secret path will be there for you that no one knows,

You can’t see it yet...
But so many paradises are at the end of this path,

Be grateful...
It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want...
Thank before having what you want.”
― Shams-i Tabrizi

“All will be annihilated in this age except the one who established in his ways and firm in his thought is”
