”A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”
-Bruce Lee
“True wisdom begins when we accept things as they are.”
-Tenzin
”The important thing is to never stop questioning.”

Belki de insan zekâsı bir hataydı. Belki de cennetten çıkışı kutlayan herkes yanılıyordu. Belki akıl armağanı, beraberinde gelen dayanılmaz acıyı telafi edemiyordu.
''Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.''
"A kinder gentleman treads not the earth.
I saw Bassanio and Antonio part.
Bassanio told him he would make some speed
Of his return. He answered, Do not so,
Slubber not business for my sake, Bassanio,
But stay the very riping of the time,
And for the Jew's bond which he hath of me,
Let it not enter in your mind of love.
Be merry, and employ your chiefest thoughts
To courtship, and such fair ostents of love
As shall conveniently become you there.
And even there (his eye being big with tears),
Turning his face, he put his hand behind him,
And with affection wondrous sensible
He wrung Bassanio's hand, and so they parted."
Says Salarino, and Solanio replies "I think he only loves the world for him."
Act 2. Scene 8. 35-50
I take this scene as a very emotional scene. That's because there is nothing but a goodbye that bears a burden of not seeing each other again and there is nothing but a somber moment of a friend saying goodbye to a friend he loves maybe never has a chance to talk about his affection....
And I'm leaving a song here "Princess of the Night" by "At Vance"
"And from the day that you've captured my heart
You filled me up with love
You made my dreams come true.
So now you've gone.
There's no eternity
So here is what I say:
When the sun comes down
İtiraf etmeliyim ki, ne dillerin yapıları, ne devletlerin kanunları, ne de çeşitli ülkelerin politikaları ilgimi çekiyordu. Göğün ve yerin gizemleriydi öğrenmek istediğim; ilgimi çeken ister maddelerin dış yapısı, ister doğanın iç işleyişi, ister insanın gizemli ruhu olsun, bütün sorularım metafiziğe ya da en yüksek anlamıyla, dünyanın fiziksel gizemlerine yönelmişti.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor' wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?
I love this part of Hamlet since those are the serious questions of existential ideas. Hamlet who glorified humanity back then, now questioning why those gloried humans are mortal? If people are mortal why are they glorified this much? How can those who are that perfect not be mortal? Why are we not immortal?Why the god created humans? Why don't we kill ourselves to not bear the burdens of life? To be, or not to be?
