Quote by Ehsan Sehgal

“The foolish and negative-minded people search the minor issues in every subject, to become human-rights-champions. All religions defend the human rights, only the poor-minded people, whoever they are, violate the human rights, not any religion and its teachings. Every society is free that how to teach its generations.”

“We can't say, "Listen, you barbarians: These holy books of yours are filled with murderous nonsense. In the interest of getting you to behave like civilized human beings, we're going to redact them and give you back something that reads like Kahlil Gibran. There you go ... Don't you feel better now that you no longer hate homosexuals?” However, that's really what one should be able to do in any intellectual tradition in the twenty-first century.”

“Coloro le cui opinioni vanno sotto il nome di opinione pubblica non sono sempre gente dello stesso tipo: in America, è tutta la popolazione bianca; in Inghilterra, soprattutto la classe media. Ma sempre di masse si tratta, cioè di una mediocrità collettiva. E una novità ancor maggiore e che la massa non attinge le sue opinioni dai prelati della Chiesa o dai dignitari dello Stato, da qualche capo riconoscibile oppure dai libri: a pensare in loro vece sono degli uomini esattamente come loro, che si rivolgono a loro o parlano a loro nome attraverso i giornali, sull'estro del momento. Non mi sto lamentando di tutto ciò. Non voglio affermare che ci sia qualcosa di meglio da proporre, in una situazione di così basso livello come quella in cui oggi versa la mente umana. Ma ciò non toglie che il governo della mediocrità resti un governo mediocre.”

“We have become obsessed with what is good about small classrooms and oblivious about what also can be good about large classes. It’s a strange thing isn't it, to have an educational philosophy that thinks of the other students in the classroom with your child as competitors for the attention of the teacher and not allies in the adventure of learning.”

“If we are seeking to serve the God of truth then we should really welcome truth from whatever source it comes. We shouldn’t fear the truth. Some of it will be from science, obviously, but by no means all of it. It will sometimes by perplexing, how this bit of truth relates to that bit of truth; we know that within science itself often enough and we find it outside of science as well. The crucial thing is to be honest.”
