No one has expressed what is needed better than Abdel Rahman al-Rashed, the general manager of the London-based al-Arabiya news channel. One of the best-known and most respected Arab journalists working today, he wrote the following, in Al-Sharq Al-Awsat (September 6, 2004), after a series of violent incidents involving Muslim extremist groups from Chechnya to Saudi Arabia to Iraq: "Self-cure starts with self-realization and confession. We should then run after our terrorist sons, in the full knowledge that they are the sour grapes of a deformed culture... The mosque used to be a haven, and the voice of religion used to be that of peace and reconciliation. Religious sermons were warm behests for a moral order and an ethical life. Then came the neo-Muslims. An innocent and benevolent religion, whose verses prohibit the felling of trees in the absence of urgent necessity, that calls murder the most heinous of crimes, that says explicitly that if you kill one person you have killed humanity as a whole, has been turned into a global message of hate and a universal war cry... We cannot clear our names unless we own up to the shameful fact that terrorism has become an Islamic enterprise; an almost exclusive monopoly, implemented by Muslim men and women. We cannot redeem our extremist youth, who commit all these heinous crimes, without confronting the Sheikhs who thought it ennobling to reinvent themselves as revolutionary ideologues, sending other people's sons and daughters to certain death, while sending their own children to European and American schools and colleges. ↗
Every second I spend waiting, Drags me closer to this grave. I'm not alone. No, I'm just on my own. ↗

I kind of feel like I've been eating professionally for a long time. I've tasted everything. If there's a sausage, you know what? I know exactly what it tastes like. I love them all. But right now it's more important for me to not have all that grease and fat in my body. ↗

El estudio de la economía no parece exigir ningún don especializado de un orden excepcionalmente superior. ¿No es una disciplina muy fácil comparada con las ramas superiores de la filosofía o la ciencia pura?. Una disciplina fácil de la que muy pocos sobresalen. La paradoja tal vez tenga su explicación en que el economista experto debe poseer una rara combinación de dones. Debe ser en cierta medida matemático, historiador, estadista, filosofo. Debe comprender los símbolos y hablar en palabras. Debe contemplar lo particular desde la óptica de lo general y considerar en un mismo razonamiento lo abstracto y lo concreto. Debe estudiar el presente pensando en el futuro. Ningún aspecto de la naturaleza del hombre o de sus instituciones debe quedarse al margen de su consideración. Debe ser simultáneamente decidido y desinteresado; tan distante e incorruptible como un artista y, sin embargo a veces tan cerca del suelo como un político ↗
- Во время крупных переворотов в технике те дисциплины, которые стоят в стороне, должны казаться неважными. И вы, молодёжь, естественно, колеблетесь, несмотря на уже приобретенную специальность. Я бы тоже колебался... Но вот что я вам скажу... Давыдов зажег папиросу, задумчиво посмотрел на поднимавшийся вверх дым. – Есть люди, – медленно начал профессор, – безразличные в выборе научного пути. Случай, выгода – и они будут заниматься чем угодно. И даже с большим успехом, с хорошими результатами. Но я не считаю их настоящими учеными. Выбор науки, что там ни говори, определяется личными склонностями, способностями и вкусами. Только тогда, когда ваш ум будет требовать знания, ловить его, как задыхающийся ловит воздух, тогда вы будете подлинными творцами науки, не щадящими сил в своем движении вперед, сливающими свою личность с наукой. Я сам вначале колебался... Конечно, может быть, жаль, что я не физик, не творю важнейшее для настоящего момента, но тут дело в комбинации моих способностей и интересов, которые принесут наибольший эффект, если будут гармонировать с избранным путем... Бросить наше дело нельзя еще и потому, что человеку, строящему будущее, необходим общий подъем культуры, знания и широкий кругозор. Наука имеет свои законы развития, не всегда совпадающие с практическими требованиями сегодняшнего дня. И ученый не может быть врагом современности. Он должен быть впереди, иначе он будет лишь чиновником. Без современности – фантазер, без будущего – тупица. А ведь еще Петр Великий это хорошо понимал. Вспомните его указ о непременном сборе ископаемых костей – это в те-то тяжелые времена, в бедной и бескультурной стране! (Илья Андреевич Давыдов - аспирантам) ↗
He was my comfort. He was my solace. Nearly everything I had faced in my young life, I had gotten through because of him, because he was always there for me, with soft words and a tender heart. -Kiera Allen ↗
He asks me which of them two I liked best. Perhaps I liked Mr. Harry Carson once--I don't know--I've forgotten; but I loved James Wilson, that's now on trial, above what tongue can tell--above all else on earth put together; and I love him now better than ever, though he has never known a word of it till this minute... I never found out how dearly I loved another till one day, when James Wilson asked me to marry him, and I was very hard and sharp in my answer (for indeed, sir, I'd a deal to bear just then), and he took me at my word and left me; and from that day to this I've never spoken a word to him, or set eyes on him; though I'd fain have done so, to try and show him we had both been too hasty; for he'd not been gone out of my sight above a minute before I knew I loved--far above my life," said she, dropping her voice as she came to this second confession of the strength of her attachment. "But, if the gentleman asks me which I loved the best, I make answer, I was flattered by Mr. Carson, and pleased with his flattery; but James Wilson, I"-- She covered her face with her hands, to hide the burning scarlet blushes, which even dyed her fingers. ↗
