You can't say 'I don't do politics,' because silence is a political statement.

The best measure of a successful life is the way we turn away, we renounce, and even by the way we depart it.

I think many thinkers and activists, even in the Islamist parties like the Muslim Brotherhood, and the people who left the Muslim Brotherhood to follow Abou el-Fatouh, these people do have an understanding that the relationship between religion and the state must be re-thought and re-assessed. They're not going to use the concept of secularism in any straightforward way, because the concept of secularism is still far too loaded in that part of the world.

For me I made it clear that I wanted to meet with both sides of the political spectrum.

Saying that Islam is in heart, is similar to giving back the exam's paper completely white and saying : knowledge is in brain.

To live is to love,to serve, to forgive. Love the One, love and serve humanity. To learn to love oneself and to love is to learn to forgive

Our emotions are often beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. They represent our spontaneity, and seem to speak to us of our freedom.
