People are saying, "Oh my God, Saudi Arabia has changed." It's a contradiction. Do you want us to lead, or do you want us to play a supporting role?

You cannot lecture another people about what you think is right or wrong based on your value system unless you're willing to accept others imposing their value system on you.

Daesh members wear shoes. Does this mean everybody who wears shoes is Daesh?

What humbugs we are who pretend to live for Beauty and never see the Dawn!
