Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils. Hector Berlioz I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Evelyn Beatrice Hall Suffering, how divine it is, how misunderstood! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues. Anatole France I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us. Franz Kafka Persians basically did not have home, except in their literature, especially their poetry. This country, our country, has been attacked and invaded numerous times, and each time, when Persians had lost their sense of their own history, culture and language, they found their poets as the true guardians of their true home. Nafisi I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good. Thomas Paine Religion is too important a matter to its devotees to be a subject of ridicule. If they indulge in absurdities, they are to be pitied rather than ridiculed. Kant To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities - I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not - that one endures. Nietzsche Men would never be superstitious, if they could govern all their circumstances by set rules, or if they were always favoured by fortune: but being frequently driven into straits where rules are useless, and being often kept fluctuating pitiably between hope and fear by the uncertainty of fortune's greedily coveted favours, they are consequently, for the most part, very prone to credulity. Spinoza If with wine you are drunk be happy, If seated with a moon-faced (beautiful), be happy, Since the end purpose of the universe is nothing-ness; Hence picture your nothing-ness, then while you are, be happy! Khayyam In life there are certain sores that, like a canker, gnaw at the soul in solitude and diminish it. Hedayat The only real wisdom is knowing you know nothing. Socrates There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Albert Camus The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk. Hegel The man of science is a poor philosopher. Einstein We cannot avoid conflict, conflict with society, other individuals and with oneself. Conflicts may be the sources of defeat, lost life and a limitation of our potentiality but they may also lead to greater depth of living and the birth of more far-reaching unities, which flourish in the tensions that engender them. Karl Jaspers The individual is defined only by his relationship to the world and to other individuals; he exists only by transcending himself, and his freedom can be achieved only through the freedom of others. Simone de Beauvoir As everybody likes to be honoured, so people imagine that God also wants to be honoured. They forget that the fulfilment of duty towards men is the only honour adequate to him. Thus is formed the conception of a religion of worship, instead of a merely moral religion. Apart from moral conduct, all that man thinks him...self able to do in order to become acceptable to God is mere superstition and religious folly. Kant While capitalism can only survive by permanently creating new desires, it paradoxically also depends on the permanent devaluation of its own products as well as the disillusionment of those desires. The success of capitalism lies in the very fact that we are permanently disappointed by the products we acquire. Albert Hirschman The structural limitations of people's definitions of the good life are set by a capitalist economy and therefore contradict the liberal idea of an individual who's privileged to choose her/his own conception of the good life freely and independent from external constraints. Hartmut Rosa How can anyone think philosophically while listening to old wives' tales founded on contradictions, which obdurate ignorance, and dogmatism? Rhazes Peaceful surrender of power by the bourgeoisie is possible, if it is convinced that resistance is hopeless & if it prefers to save its skin. It is much more likely, of course, that even in small states socialism will not be achieved without civil war, & for that reason the only programme of international Social-Democracy must be recognition of civil war, though violence is, of course, alien to our ideals. Lenin Property is a social creation that orders & maintains specific relations between people. It is not, as it is used in an everyday sense, what is owned (or an object) but the rights attached to ownership; specifically, it is the right to control the use or benefit to which ownership is put. Property denotes not material things but certain rights. A property right is a relation not between an owner and a thing, but between the owner and other individuals in reference to things. Not only is it a right but an enforceable claim to some use or benefit of something. Morris Cohen The crux of the matter is that I am tired of it all. It has to do with my nerves. I pass the night in a situation much worse than that of a sentenced criminal. I am tired of life. Nothing gives me incentive or comfort and I cannot deceive myself any more. A gap has severed the line of communication between life, circumstances, etc., and me. We cannot understand each other any more. Hedayat Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 1 Timothy 6:5 تار نهم بر کف درویش خانتا بدمد دربدن مرده جان Let a Tar in Darvish's Palms. He inspires the life into a dead. Darvish Khan Poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue; it is hard for an empty bag to stand upright. Benjamin Franklin Where there is no property, there is no injustice. John Locke Enjoy wine and women and don't be afraid, God has compassion. Khayyam The spiritual couplets of Molana are the Qur'an in the Persian tongue. Jami The more I am by myself and alone, the more I have come to love myths. Aristotle (in his later years) I am displeased with the company of friends, To whom my bad qualities appear to be good; They fancy my faults are virtues and perfection ; My thorns they believe to be rose and jessamine. Say! where is the bold and quick enemy, To make me aware of my defects? Sa'di 'Thus saith Cyrus King of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all His people--the LORD his God be with him--let him go up.' (Ezra 1:1-4) And dispute not with the People of the Book, except with means better than mere disputation, unless I be with those of them who inflict wrong and injury, but say to them: "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our God and your God is one; and it is to Him that we bow." (Qur'an 29:46) I write only for my shadow which is cast on the wall in front of the light. I must introduce myself to it. Hedayat Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself. Nietzsche Value judgments are destructive to our proper business, which is curiosity and awareness. John Cage Those who consume blindly are not free. Cafaro Say: "We believe in Allah & that which has been sent down to us & that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismail (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Yaqoob (Jacob), & to Al-Asbat (the tribes), & that which has been given to Moosa (Moses) & Iesa (Jesus), & that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. W...e make no distinction between any of them, & to Him we have submitted (in Islam)." 3:67-69 67. I am not afraid of death in a society where the wage of a gravedigger is more than a human being’s dignity and honor. Ahmad Shamlou Christ is the population of the world, and every object as well. مولانا Molana We shall extend the Persian territory as far as God's heaven reaches. The sun will then shine on no land beyond our borders. Xerxes the Great Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader, are your own nature reflected in them. Mowlānā مولانا The first person who, having fenced off a plot of ground, took it into his head to say this is mine & found people simple enough to believe him, was the true founder of civil society. Rosseau Tell the tale in Persian so that all may understand it, Even though they lack insight and are (spiritually) sleep. Sultan Walad سلطان ولد The world's a body, Iran its heart, No shame to him who says such a word Iran, the world's most precious heart, excels the body, there is no doubt. Among the realms that kings posses, the best domain goes to the best. Nizami Ganjavi نظامی گنجوی He calls to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning comes, and also the night; if you will inquire, inquire, and come again. [Isaiah 21:11-12] Who—aside from big children who are indeed found in the natural sciences—still believes that the findings of astronomy, biology, physics, or chemistry could teach us anything about the meaning of the world? If there is any 'meaning', along what road could one come upon its tracks? Weber Science is meaningless because it gives no answer to our question, the only question important for us: "What shall we do and how shall we live?" Tolstoy If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us. Hermann Hesse When people say, 'Well, you thought this a few years ago and now you say something else,' my answer is… [laughs] 'Well, do you think I have worked hard all those years to say the same thing and not to be changed? Foucault A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs. James Joyce Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species. Nietzsche If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants. Issac Newton The ultimate & most important revolutionary aspiration: to see human beings liberated from their alienation. The individual will reach total consciousness as a social being, which is equivalent to the full realization as a human creature, once the chains of alienation are broken. Che My relation to my environment is my consciousness. Marx I am Cyrus, King of the World, Great King, Mighty King, King of Persia, King of Anshan, King of Media, King of Babylon, King of Sumer and Akkad, King of the Four Corners of the World. Cyrus the Great کوروش بزرگ Thus says Yahweh to his anointed, to Cyrus, whom he has taken by his right hand to subdue nations before him &strip the loins of kings, to force gateways before him that their gates be closed no more: I will go before you levelling the heights. I will give you the hidden treasures, the secret hoards, that you may know that I am Yahweh. Isaiah, in Isaiah 45: 1-3 The self admirer should not glorify himself nor be so conceited that he elevates himself above his counterparts. Neither should he belittle himself to such an extent that he becomes inferior to his own peers or to those who are inferior both to him & his fellowmen. If he follows this advice, he will be freed from self admiration & feelings of inferiority, & people will call him one who truly knows himself. Rhazes A smoke in times of rest is a great companion to the solitary soldier. Che Taking the first footstep with a good thought, the second with a good word, and the third with a good deed, I entered paradise. Zoroaster I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. Martin Luther King Jr. His religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. Einstein Those who have the same religion as you have, they are brothers to you, then there those whose religion is other than yours, they are humans like you. Man of either category suffers from the same deficiency and short comings that human beings are inclined too. Let your mercy and compassion come to their rescue in the same way that you expect God to treat you. Imam Ali علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب We moderns possess nothing which is truly ours...And so all of modern culture is essentially inward; on the cover the binder has stamped some title like 'Handbook of Inner Culture for Outward Barbarians'. Nietzsche The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization, intellectualization, and above all, by the disenchantment of the world. Weber All that is solid melts into air. Marx O man, take care! What does the deep midnight declare? "I was asleep— From a deep dream I woke and swear:— The world is deep, Deeper than day had been aware. Deep is its woe— Joy—deeper yet than agony: Woe implores: Go! But all joy wants eternity— Wants deep, wants deep eternity. Nietzsche The presence of death annihilates all that is imaginary. We are the offspring of death and death delivers us from the tantalizing, fraudulent attractions of life; it is death that beckons us from the depths of life. If at times we come to a halt, we do so to hear the call of death throughout our lives, the finger of death points at us. Hedayat My Lord, grant me success in struggling during failure, in having patience in disappointment, in going alone, in Jihad without weapons, in working without pay, in making sacrifice in silence, in having religious belief in the world, in having ideology without popular traditions, in having faith without pretensions, non-conformity without immaturity, beauty without physical appearance, loneliness in the crowd, and loving without the beloved knowing about it. My Lord, You teach me how to live; I shall learn how to die. Ali Shariati علی شريعتی | ||||||||||||||||
