Quote by Sofija Čiurlionienė-Kymantaitė

“Tėvų namai su visa begaline mano meile - jokių mano intelekto reikalavimų negalėjo patenkinti. O yra jauname amžiuje toks laikotarpis, kad intelektas reiškia daugiau negu širdis. Protas trokšta, leidžiasi pats į beribes erdves, ieško paramos, gal atramos, ieško aiškaus taip ar ne savo klaidžiojančiom mintim... Socialiniai klausimai... Tie socialiniai klausimai tėvų namuose buvo trumpai išsprendžiami Dievo valios sąvoka, o daug kitų klausimų - kaimiškomis tradicijomis.”

“There is no such thing as absolute truth and absolute falsehood. The scientific mind should never recognise the perfect truth or the perfect falsehood of any supposed theory or observation. It should carefully weigh the chances of truth and error and grade each in its proper position along the line joining absolute truth and absolute error.”

“As a scripture that inspired some of the greatest minds in history, the Qur’an deserves a rich and evocative translation that strives to convey the profound wisdom embodied in its original language. Even on a superficial level, its creative use of words is artistic and ingenious.”

“Consistency of curiosity with which a historian, anthropologist, archaeologist and physicist works demands that one likewise gives attention to Qur’an with objectivity and sincerity. Qur’an is not a book of science. But, to present its basic message, it focuses our attention on different realities, both within our consciousness and in the outside natural phenomena. Modern science has not found any error in Qur’an’s descriptive statements about nature.”

“As a matter of fact, Islamic texts fourteen centuries back do not say that the earth was created a few thousand years ago. In fact, Qur’an mentions that at different places in the universe, the length of the day could be hugely different as compared to Earth. When Qur’an discusses the material world, its descriptions are found to be consistent with established facts of modern science. In 650 A.D., those things could not have been conceived, observed and communicated by a person who did not receive any formal scientific education.”
