“Likewise, if we offer too much silent assent about mysticism and superstition - even when it seems to be doing a little good - we abet a general climate in which scepticism is considered impolite, science tiresome, and rigorous thinking somehow stuffy and inappropriate.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

“One thing you can't hide - is when you're crippled inside.”
― John Lennon

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“عندما نلتقى أحدهم ونقع فى غرامه , نشعر ان الكون كله يطاوعنا فى هذا الاتجاه . هذا
ما حدث لى اليوم عند مغيب الشمس . لكن اذا حدث خلل منا , فان كل شئ عندئذ يتلاشئ
ويختفى ! طيور مالك الحزين والموسيقى الصادحة فى البعيد وطعم شفتيه . ترى , كيف
يمكن للجمال الذى كان حاضرآ بقوة ان يختفى بهذه السرعة ويتلاشئ ؟”
― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes
