“A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.”
Max Muller

“If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered over the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant, I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and Romans, and of the Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw the corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human a life... again I should point to India.”
Max Müller, India: What Can It Teach Us

“نحن نجهل إلى أي العوالم يمضي بنا هذا الرسول
الليلي حينما نستسلم له بعيون مغمضة وليس من يتكفل بفتحها في الغد ليعيدنا
إلى يقظة العمر. لقد تعلق الإنسان بأهداب الشجاعة والإيمان يوم تلقاه الصديق
المجهول فنومه النومة الأولى، ولولا ما فطرنا عليه من ثقة وامتثال لأبى الواحد منا،
رغم التعب والنصب، أن يغمض عينيه بمحض إرادته ويدخل مملكة النوم. إنما هما
الضعف والشقاء تشتد علينا وطأتهما فنلجأ إلى قوة عليا ونرضخ للنظام البديع
النافذ في جميع الكائنات، فنسعد إبان الرقاد بحل الروابط التي تقيد ذاتنا الأبدية
الخالدة بذاتنا الأرضية الزائلة”
Friedrich Max Müller, ابتسامات ودموع
