“I think that age is irrelevant. We're all pretty much spiritual beings - I consider myself to be about eighty-five. I feel like I'm ancient, like two thousand years old.”

“Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.”
“People get a lot out of being religious. They have strong senses of community and mutual support. So, what's not to love [there]?”
“You are free; you are free to go to your temples. You are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, caste or creedâ€”that has nothing to do with the business of the State.”
