“زندگي يعني: يك سار پريد.
از چه دلتنگ شدي؟
دلخوشي‌ه�� كم نيست: مثلا اين خورشيد،
كودك پس‌فردا��
كفتر آن هفته.

يك نفر ديشب مرد
وهنوز، نان گندم خوب است.
وهنوز، آب مي‌ريز�� پايين، اسب‌ه�� مي‌نوشن��.”
― سهراب سپهری, حجم سبز

“If nature leads us to mathematical forms of great simplicity and beauty—by forms, I am referring to coherent systems of hypotheses, axioms, etc.—to forms that no one has previously encountered, we cannot help thinking that they are “true,�� that they reveal a genuine feature of nature��. You must have felt this too: the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of the relationships which nature suddenly spreads out before us and for which none of us was in the least prepared.”
― Werner Heisenberg

“I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.”
― Bertrand Russell

“Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.”

“The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widely spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.”
― Bertrand Russell, Marriage and Morals

“Philosophy, if it cannot answer so many questions as we could wish, has at least the power of asking questions which increase the interest of the world, and show the strangeness and wonder lying just below the surface even in the commonest things of daily life.”

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”

“...It would hardly be a waste of time if sometimes even the most advanced students in the cognitive sciences were to pay a visit to their ancestors. It is frequently claimed in American philosophy departments that, in order to be a philosopher, it is not necessary to revisit the history of philosophy. It is like the claim that one can become a painter without having ever seen a single work by Raphael, or a writer without having ever read the classics. Such things are theoretically possible; but the 'primitive' artist, condemned to an ignorance of the past, is always recognizable as such and rightly labeled as naïf. It is only when we consider past projects revealed as utopian or as failures that we are apprised of the dangers and possibilities for failure for our allegedly new projects. The study of the deeds of our ancestors is thus more than an atiquarian pastime, it is an immunological precaution.”
― Umberto Eco, The Search for the Perfect Language

“He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked.”
― Voltaire

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

― Pablo Picasso

“In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them.”
― Mark Twain

“You get a little moody sometimes but I think that's because you like to read. People that like to read are always a little fucked up.”
― Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
― Socrates
