Al-Ghazali
Men have such a good opinion of themselves, of their mental superiority and intellectual depth they believe themselves so skilled in discerning the true from the false, the path of safety from those of error, that they should be forbidden as much as possible the perusal of philosophic writings.
Al-Ghazali
The mere physical man is like the ant crawling on the paper, who observes black lettering and attributes its production to the pen and nothing more.
