“القرآن هادي البشرية ومرشدها ونور الحياة ودستورها ، ما من شيء احتاجه البشر إلا بيَّنه اللَّه فيه نصًا أو إشارة أو إيماءً ، عَلِمه مَنْ عَلِمه ، وجهله من جهله”
― محمد متولي الشعراوي, كيف تقرأ القرآن الكريم وتحفظه

“It is not the unloved who initiate disaffection, but those who cannot love because they love only themselves. It is not the helpless, subject to terror, who initiate terror, but the violent, who with their power create the concrete situation which begets the 'rejects of life.' It is not the tyrannized who initiate despotism, but the tyrants. It is not those whose humanity is denied them who negate humankind, but those who denied that humanity (thus negating their own as well). Force is used not by those who have become weak under the preponderance of the strong, but by the strong who have emasculated them.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“Reading is not walking on the words; it's grasping the soul of them.”
― Paulo Freire
