Error

"One does not understand the essence of things through art and religion, although nearly everyone is of that opinion. Error has made man so deep, delicate, inventive as to bring forth such blossoms as religions and arts. Pure knowledge would have been incapable of it. Whoever revealed to us the essence of the world would disappoint us all most unpleasantly. It is not the world as a thing in itself, but the world as idea (as error) that is so rich in meaning, deep, wonderful, pregnant with happiness and unhappiness. This conclusion leads to a philosophy of the logical denial of the world, which, by the way, can be combined just as well with a practical affirmation of the world as with its opposite." ~ F. Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human, remark 29.

Muhammad: A Revolutionary Life

Nothing is more infuriating to the revolutionary, or to the reformer even, than the complacency of the establishment: its assumption that good consists in its own continued existence and in that of its time-honoured habits, its unawareness of the dangers threatening the world it holds dear and its contempt for all warnings. It is against such people, who take their own strength for granted and who, having amassed great wealth, believe they can do just as they like regardless of anyone else, that the earliest revelations [of the Qur'an] are directed. ~ Maxime Rodinson, Muhammad, 84.
