"Democracy is for infidels. A real Muslim is not a democrat because he doesn't care about the opinions of majorities and minorities don't interest him. He is only interested in what Islam says."

“You have a teacher talking about his gayness. (The elementary school student) goes home then and says "Mom! What's gayness? We had a teacher talking about this today." The mother says "Well, that's when a man likes other men, and they don't like girls." The boy's eight. He's thinking, "Hmm. I don't like girls. I like boys. Maybe I'm gay." And you think, "Oh, that's, that's way out there. The kid isn't gonna think that." Are you kidding? That happens all the time. You don't think that this is intentional, the message that's being given to these kids? That's child abuse.”
“Acutely aware of the poverty of my means, language became obstacle. At every page I thought, 'That's not it.' So I began again with other verbs and other images. No, that wasn't it either.

Pay close attention to the most tedious thing you can find (Tax Returns, Televised Golf) and, in waves, a boredom like youâ€™ve never known will wash over you and just about kill you. Ride these out, and itâ€™s like stepping from black and white into color. Like water after days in the desert. Instant bliss in every atom.”
“The willow submits to the wind and prospers until one day it is many willows - a wall against the wind.”
