What," "how," "when," etc are all...

What," "how," "when," etc are all questions more or less common to religion and philosophy. But to ask "why" is a transgression in religion, and this inquiry has undoubtedly taken the heaviest tolls on intellect.

Other quotes by Raheel Farooq

Man is meant for good but designed for evil.

- Raheel Farooq

Thoughts are ghosts of emotions.

- Raheel Farooq

Destination is, ideally, where one should stop; and ideally, one should not stop. Practically, destination of a great man is where he wants to stop; of a common man, where he has to. The one ends with Will, the other with Reason. Morality is always pursued, never reached!

- Raheel Farooq

Rules are where there is a lack. They are to make up the deficiency, explicit or implicit. The system of existence, being complete in itself, is in no need to follow any of them. The appearance of disorder---or even order, in contrast---is when we observe something as a detached entity. Taken as a whole, the Universe is absolute, nothing being lacking, insignificant, or improvable. So, any such thing as a Theory of Everything (TOE) is a mere chimera.

- Raheel Farooq

Philosophy is an infertile hybrid. Life is a prolific hermaphrodite.

- Raheel Farooq

Man is a logical machine run by the scoundrels of emotions.
