People with OCD including myself, realize that their seemingly uncontrollable behavior is irrational, but they feel unable to stop it.

Why should a religion claim that it is not bound to abide by the standpoint of reason! If one does not take the standard of reason, there cannot be any true judgment, even in the case of religion.

Fundamentalism not only fuels devastating acts of violence, but also all kinds of primitive prejudicial behaviors, such as Misogyny, Polygamy, Homophobia, and Islamophobia.

Come out, O lions, and shake off the ancient mysticism and prejudices.

Come out my friend. Come out from the narrow lanes of darkness. Come out into the vivacious light of the day where all the glory resides.

Islamophobia may not actually be considered as a medical condition, unlike a medical condition, it is nothing but a primordial disgrace to the character of thinking humanity.

Harmony also is not a luxury, it is an evolutionary necessity, if we are to advance further. And harmony cannot be compromised for any book in the world, no matter how ancient, or who wrote it.

Fear, anxiety, stress and panic, all these are basic evolutionary expression of the human brain. They are part of the normal human condition.

It takes a human being to not do wrong in return.

Islamophobia defines whether a person is really a thinking and sentient sapiens or an ignorant caveman.

There's no point in saving the world if it means losing the moon.

How many opportunities present themselves to a man without his noticing them?

Thank God we're living in a country where the sky's the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television.

I had some good opportunities. I was lucky to have had the chance to do things differently. Architecture is about surprise.

Any conversation I have about innovation starts with the ultimate goal.

I'm surprised you know that," I say quietly, " since you left halfway through my one and only fight." "It wasn't something I wanted to watch." he says. What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know if memoirs can produce literary work of the first order. But I do know that novels are doing it only rarely.

The Bible. That is what fools have written, what imbeciles commend, what rogues teach and young children are made to learn by heart.

Of all the portions of life it is in the two twilights, childhood and age, that tears fall with the most frequency; like the dew at dawn and eve.
