.: Conceptual minds :.


Kuala Lumpur City Library.




“Let others see their recreation
In beautiful songstresses and wine
What we offer are literary gatherings and books
As recreations of the minds”

~ Ibn Durayd (d.321/933)











“Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.”


~ Lao Tzu





There's something in every atheist, itching to believe, and something in every believer, itching to doubt.
