"When the Islamic revolution began in 1979 under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini, it aroused considerable admiration in the Arab street.

"Love myself I do. Not everything, but I love the good as well as the bad. I love my crazy lifestyle, and I love my hard discipline.

I am proud of everything that I am and will become."

"Everything is permitted, Nothing is true."

"You said you knew the perfect place to run to. A place that was empty of people, and buildings, and far, far away. A place covered in blood-red earth and sleeping life. A place longing to come alive again. It's a place for disappearing, you'd said, a place for getting lost... and for getting found.I'll take you there, you'd said.And I could say that I agreed."

"Freedom is an absolute state, there is no such thing as being half-free."

"I do not think, sir, you have any right to command me, merely because you are older than I, or because you have seen more of the world than I have; your claim to superiority depends on the use you have made of your time and experience."

"Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward."

"No man owns me. All man can do is practice the timeless, criminal art of threatening to separate my soul from her physical host."
