“The primordial state of the Absolute is absolute potential.” — Dejan Stojanovic Quote

“The primordial state of the Absolute is absolute potential.”

“To risk life to save a smile on a face of a woman or a child is the secret of chivalry.”

“The passing of the Absolute through itself, between two zeros or two nothings, is life. This passage, which makes life possible, is impossible without nothingness as an equally important “force.” Only nothingness is emptiness or an absolute vacuum. The Absolute Source creates the world and life by swallowing emptiness, not by the explosion into the void.”

“To come to nothing through something is the way to outside from both sides.”

“Color is the overpowering of black; white – the final victory over black.”

“Can we go beyond the existing Universe to establish some scientific truths? However abstract this may sound, we may question relations and influences. For example, if there were other universes anywhere before the Big Bang of our Universe, how could that have affected our Universe, and would these effects be measurable or if there were any? Many other questions relating to impact and influence may indirectly lead to latent potential answers.”

“History proves beyond any possibility of doubt that no religion has ever given a stimulus to scientific progress comparable to that of Islam. The encouragement which learning and scientific research received from Islamic theology resulted in the splendid cultural achievements in the days of the Umayyads and Abbasids and the Arab rule in Sicily and Spain. I do not mention this in order that we might boast of those glorious memories at a time when the Islamic world has forsaken its own traditions and reverted to spiritual blindness and intellectual poverty. We have no right, in our present misery, to boast of past glories. But we must realize that it was the negligence of the Muslims and not any deficiency in the teachings of Islam that caused our present decay.”

“Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it.”

“There are no forbidden questions in science, no matters too sensitive or delicate to be probed, no sacred truths.”

“Even those who do not, or cannot, avail themselves of a scientific education, choose to benefit from the technology that is made possible by the scientific education of others.”

“Whatever we make, or invent, or build, is with us forever; we cannot throw it away. The methan and carbon diocide we put into the atmosphere will have effects, just like the nitrogen and phospate we flush into our rivers. They will end up impacting on human and more-than-human bodies, and lives. So the first question is 'should we be doing this?' That must replace the standard 20th-century question: 'can we make a profit from doing this?”
