पैगंबर साहब के इंतकाल के डेढ़ सौ साल बाद तक इस्लामी कानून के शुरुआती नियम लिखे ही नहीं गए थे, और इन्हें कोई निश्चित रूप मिलने में पांच सौ साल यानी आधी शताब्दी का और समय लग गया। यही वजह है कि इस्लामी कानून आखिर असल में क्या मांग करता है, इस पर हमेशा से बड़ी बहसें होती आई हैं। सुन्नी विचारधारा में कानून के चार मुख्य स्कूल हैं और शिया विचारधारा में एक अलग स्कूल है, इसलिए ये बहसें होना स्वाभाविक है।

The first rules about Islamic law weren't even written down for a century and a half after the Prophet's death, and it was another five centuries, half a millennium, before they assumed anything like a definitive form. So there have always been huge arguments over what Islamic law actually requires. There are four main schools of law in Sunni thought and there's a separate school of law in Shia thought, so these arguments do take place.

महान संगीतकार बाख (Bach) का संगीत तर्कों और चिंतन से भरे पृष्ठों से भरा हुआ है, जो हर तरफ और कहीं नहीं ले जाने वाले अंशों की एक समृद्ध पच्चीकारी के ज़रिए उस अज्ञात संपूर्णता का गुणगान करता है। विचारों को प्रस्तुत किया जाता है, उन्हें सिर के बल खड़ा किया जाता है, टुकड़ों में तोड़ दिया जाता है, यहाँ तक कि अंतिम संदेश हर छोटी-बड़ी चीज़ का आपस में जुड़ाव बन जाता है—अस्तित्व की एक ऐसी श्रृंखला जो आखिरी सुर अपनी जगह पर पहुँचने तक पूरी नहीं हो सकती।

The music of the supreme architect, Bach, is filled with pages of discursive argument and rumination, glorifying the nameless whole by a rich embroidery of passages which lead everywhere and nowhere. The ideas are presented, stood on their head, dissolved into fragments, until the ultimate message becomes the connections of all things great and small, a chain of being which cannot be secured until the last note is in place.

जब हम संगीत बजाते हैं, तो हम प्राकृतिक आकारों, उनके रूपों और व्यवस्थाओं की प्रतिध्वनि का वर्णन करते हैं, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे उन्हें संगीतकार की कल्पना ने उजागर किया हो, जिसे फिर भी हमारी अपनी कल्पना के फिल्टर से गुजरना ही होता है। इसका कोई दूसरा रास्ता नहीं है। और इस दृश्य को, इस खुलासे को स्वीकार करते हुए, हमें 'हिचकिचाना' होगा, हमें संदेह करना होगा, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे संगीतकार ने संदेह किया था, क्योंकि कोई भी सार्थक रचना संदेह के बिना, अस्तित्व के निर्माण से पहले आने वाले उस असीम विस्मय के प्रवाह के बिना, बिना किसी खरोंच के पैदा नहीं हो सकती।

When we play music we describe the echo the tableau of natural forms, their shapes and arrangements, as uncovered by the composer's imagination, which yet must be filtered through our own. There is no other way. And in acknowledging this tableau, this revelation, we must "hesitate", we must doubt, as the composer doubted, for no valid creation can issue unscarred by doubt, by that vast flux of wonder which precedes the construction of being.

There have been many authorities who have asserted that the basis of science lies in counting or measuring, i.e. in the use of mathematics. Neither counting nor measuring can however be the most fundamental processes in our study of the material universe-before you can do either to any purpose you must first select what you propose to count or measure, which presupposes a classification.

द वॉयस खुद को कोई पारंपरिक पत्रिका नहीं मानती थी। मुझे यह समझने में थोड़ा वक्त लगा कि उसका नाम 'द वॉयस' (आवाज़) क्यों रखा गया था। वे चाहते थे कि लोगों की अपनी आवाज़ें सामने आएं। उस समय तक यह माना जाता था कि पत्रिका की अच्छी कहानियां हमेशा अन्य पुरुष (थर्ड पर्सन) में लिखी जानी चाहिए, इस झूठी धारणा के तहत कि इससे वे ज़्यादा निष्पक्ष लगती हैं। बेशक कुछ पारंपरिक कहानियों के लिए थर्ड पर्सन की ज़रूरत होती है, लेकिन जो कहानियां वाकई दिलचस्प होती हैं—वैसी कहानियां जो मुझे द वॉयस और एस्क्वायर के लिए करने को मिलीं—वे व्यक्तिपरकता (सब्जेक्टिविटी) के बारे में थीं, इंसानी एहसासों के अलग-अलग नजरियों के बारे में थीं।

At the time, good magazine stories were still believed to be written in the third person based on the false belief they were more objective.

Those who affirm this, should be careful not to fall into an absurdity that may overturn the foundations of all philosophy. For causes usually proceed in a continued chain from those that are more compounded to those that are more simple; when we are arrived at the most simple cause we can go no farther ... These most simple causes will you then call occult and reject them? Then you must reject those that immediately depend on them.
