Quotes

On the individual as starting point:

"One can only describe the human but can never define it because humans are complex in their nature."

"Everything is different and nothing is same in universe."

"Human is what he decides to be."

"Each thinking mind is a political mind."

"From the day to till the day there are two humans living together they were and they will be involves in political process."

On force and freedom:

"Force on people even for their good is not right."

"Humanity prevails over all other ideologies because one accept it or reject it for him but he cannot deny it because it is about him."

On power and political life:

"Struggle of power is natural in human because with power their individuality prevails over others."

"A society without democracy is a society of slaves and fools."

"Justice is not natural among people, but the struggle for justice is the most noble act in society."

"Claiming all power for the purpose of prosperity and justice in society is conflicting to its own cause."

On economic freedom:

"Freedom of few people comes with oppressing others' freedom and that's how individuals lose their individuality and freedom."

"No one should need to be big enough to destroy others and all of us must have to be powerful and resourceful enough to protect ourselves."

"Zamanism is about creating power and private resources for all in society by destroying bureaucratic and monopolistic control on society."

On knowledge and its limits:

"There is something which exists but what that something is remains a question. Either because we are not capable to reveal it yet or because with time and movement it changes itself and has no truth in it."

"Nothing is good enough; we must know and have it all. And if there is no evidence, then without assumptions we must find it. As to know and have it all is about individuality because each one has the right not to live under the mercy of anyone with more power."

"Without the evidently known truth, but through the considered truth any idea could define a basic definition of being right and wrong."

"Denying it seems almost difficult for me. As this whole understanding doesn't seem refutable and its reasoning is strong, at the same time the whole idea is based upon assumptions, and proving the individuality in the experiment leads toward many other fundamental questions related to metaphysics, physics, and epistemology."

On morality and what good means:

"The problem is not only with what's right and wrong but the problem is with who decides about what's right and wrong."

"Creating individuality, which creates and protects others' individualities, is good."

"Humanity is about raising up each other for good."
