Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

People talk about the Creator -
But surely he didn't create man only
to destroy him later! Because we are bad? And
who's to blame for that? Or because we are beautiful?
I can't make any sense of it.

Why ponder thus the future to foresee, and jade thy brain to vain perplexity? Cast off thy care, leave Allah’s plans to him – He formed them all without consulting thee.” Three Cups of Tea

Dedim: Artık bilgiden yana eksiğim yok;
Şu dünyanın sırrına ermişim az çok.
Derken aklım geldi başıma, bir de baktım:
Ömrüm gelip geçmiş, hiçbir şey bildiğim yok.
