It’s fear that makes us lose our conscience. It’s also what transforms us into cowards.
Listen. I don’t like to preach, but here’s some advice. You’ll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it’s because they’re stupid. Don’t react to their cruelty. There’s nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself.
Oh my!! How you’ve grown. Soon you’ll be catching the Lord’s balls.
Certainly, they’d had to endure the war, but they had each other close by. They had never known the confusion of being a third-worlder, they had always a home!

Evil is international and the fanatic is international and universal. There is no difference between a Muslim fanatic, a Christian fanatic, even a secular fanatic.
The world is not about Batman and Robin fighting the Joker; things are more complicated than that. And nothing is scarier than the people who try to find easy answers to complicated questions.

My mother always told me I had to do 100 times better than a man. I had to work hard at maths, and learn four languages.
I don’t like the word ‘autobiography.’ I rather like the term ‘autofiction.’ The second you make a script out of the story of your life, it becomes fictional. Of course, the truth is never far. But the story is created out of it.
All big changes of the world come from words.
I’m not somebody that keeps the thing in her heart. I can get very angry for five minutes, but then it’s finished. Once I’ve yelled, it’s over.
The best thing I ever did in my life was to ask, ‘Do I like everybody?’ And the answer was, ‘No.’ So why should everybody like me? If people are against me, so what? I’m against them too.
A Muslim fanatic and a Christian fanatic, a Jewish fanatic, a secular fanatic, an atheist fanatic, a communist fanatic – all of them are the same. The thinking that, ‘If you don’t think like me, that if you are not with me, then you are against me;’ this is something to condemn.
