“If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences.”
– H. P. Lovecraft

“When truth has no burning, then it is philosophy, when it gets burning from the heart, it becomes poetry.”
– Muhammad Iqbal

“The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it most of us have it not at all. And that’s perfectly okay. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don’t seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst.”
– Julie Burchill
