Quote by Shelina Zahra Janmohamed

In this modern day, when only what we see is allowed to have certainity, and when scientific data seems to hold the trump card for truth, when only what can be measured exists, love defies all these strictures and dances joyfully before the eyes of human beings, teasing them with the promise of the unknown.

Summary

This quote reflects on the paradoxical nature of love in a world dominated by scientific reasoning and empirical evidence. In a society that prioritizes what is tangible and measurable, love stands apart as an elusive and intangible force. It challenges the notion that only what we can observe has certainty and emphasizes the power of love to exist beyond the constraints of rationality. Love teases and entices individuals, offering the potential for an unexplored realm of emotions and experiences that cannot be fully comprehended or quantified.

All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use

All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end.
