It is unfair to label me anti-Islam. I am an atheist and a secular humanist.

I believe in absolute freedom of expression. Everyone has a right to offend and be offended.

I strongly believe that no one can be a true feminist without being an atheist. All religions are anti-women. No one can be pro-woman while supporting anti-woman dogmas.

Nature says women are human beings, men have made religions to deny it. Nature says women are human beings, men cry out no!

Koranic teaching still insists that the sun moves around the earth. How can we advance when they teach things like that?

I have had fatwas issued against me, some three in Bangladesh and another five in India. I will not be cowed by these threats and shall fight for my rights.

I am an atheist. I do not believe in prayers, I believe in work. And my work is that of an author. My pen is my weapon.

Religion, society and state - from none of these do women get their proper honor. It is religion, which has created an unparalleled disparity between men and women.

All I ever want is to return to either Bangladesh, my motherland, or India, my adopted home.

If any religion allows the persecution of the people of different faiths, if any religion keeps women in slavery, if any religion keeps people in ignorance, then I can't accept that religion.

I write against the religion because if women want to live like human beings, they will have to live outside the religion and Islamic law.

When I was 13 years old, my mom had me start getting facials in my hometown of Los Angeles.

The bonds of trust between the United States and Israel have been frayed, but even the hostility and disrespect the Obama administration has shown has not severed those bonds.

Learn to follow the quiet voice within that speaks in feelings rather than words; follow what you 'hear' inside, rather than what others may be telling you to do.

Advanced Buddhist Yoga is the art of altering your karmic patterns.

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.

I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?

Impossible is just the possible that someone has not put enough effort to make it come true.

I am very suspicious of people.

I'm done with those; regrets are an excuse for people who have failed.

Not one man in a thousand has either strength of mind or goodness of heart to be an atheist.
