Quote by Ehsan Sehgal

“Such people, who keep any nature of the provisions for any subject, in any form; they fulfil their pledge for that; however, to hope for justice, from that people, is just self-deception.”

“I was now somewhat reformed in my outward conduct, but the 'renewing in the spirit of my mind', if begun, was scarcely discernible. As my life was externally less wicked and ungodly, my heart grew most proud; the idol self was the object of my adoration and obeisance; my worldly advancement was more eagerly sought than ever; some flattering prospects seemed to open, and I resolved to improve my advantages to the uttermost.”

“Is life meaninglessness, without a fundamental purpose? Alternatively, must each of us proclaim a distinctive purposefulness for living? Is happiness a desired goal, and if so, what is personal happiness? Does happiness coincide with truthfulness? People intuitively seek happiness. How does a person haunted by memories of failure attain happiness? Should a person strive to realize an enviable social status and becoming fabulously wealthy (i.e. achieving fame and fortune)? Is happiness a mental state that instigates from a person leading a life that gives them maximize pleasure derived from their personal efforts? Does each person have the tools to achieve personal happiness? Is personal happiness a matter of making the right choices in life, of living a good life? Is the key to enjoying a happy life striving to obtain physical comfort, mental stimulation, and emotional wellbeing? Does a person achieve happiness by making choices in life that will enhance their degree of pleasure, lessen their degree of pain, and reduce their amount of personal sacrifice? Alternatively, does achieving a happy life require living virtuously by demonstrating honest work and helping other people? Can eradicating self-deception lead me to discovering a unique purpose in life that heretofore eluded me? Perhaps a creative course of constructive achievement will provide a glimmering moment of happiness.”

“To a friend, in an unguarded moment, he [Maxim Gorky, 1932] declared his ambition: simply to portray the world and man as they were, without the myth of love, ‘repudiating nothing, praising nothing’; repudiation was unjust, while praise was premature—‘for we live in chaos and ourselves are fragments of chaos.’ He compared his desire with Einstein, ‘trying to alter radically our representation of the universe.”

“On the whole, people deceive themselves through lack of courage rather than lack of clarity about the predicament in which they find themselves-- one may deceive oneself because one lacks the courage to face the implications of one's experience, or simply because that experience is so confused and puzzling that one opts for a relatively non-threatening interpretation of it.”

“و علا كلٍ فقد التزمت بوصية أخي ألا أنهار , وان تزايد علي مر الأيام ادراكي أنها تشكل عبئا ثقيلا. واصلت عمل ما ينبغي أن يعمل في أضيق حدود ممكنة بهذا المظهر المتماسك الخداع , تنفرج شقتاي و أتوهم بأني أبتسم, أتكلم و أتوهم أني أتواصل, أصدر أصواتا و أتوهم أني أضحك , أتحرك و أتوهم أني أتقدم , أقرأ و أتوهم أني أعي ما أقرأ, الى أن جاء اليوم الذي فقدت فيه الدلالات مدلولاتها و المسميات أسماءها , و بدأتأفقد القدرة علي التركيز , و بالتالي علي القراءة , و أتلعثم في الكلام , و من ذاكرتي تنمحي الأسماء و المسميات , لا كما لو كانت علي وشك أن تطفو و لا تطفو , بل كما لو لم تكن أبدا”
