“The most tragic thing in the world is a man of genius who is not a man of honor.”

“The most incomprehensible thing in the world to a man, is a woman who rejects his offer of marriage!”

“I never worried about the genius: genius takes care of the genius in a man. My concern was always for the nobody, the man who is lost in the shuffle, the man who is so common, so ordinary, that his presence is not even noticed. One genius does not inspire another.”

“Read in the name of your Lord Who created. He created man from a clot.Read and your Lord is Most Honorable, Who taught (to write) with the pen. Taught man what he knew not.”

“This was not a man who wanted to give up his mate. This was a man trying to do the honorable thing—and give her a choice, no matter hiw much it cost him.”

“It is a good man who stands up for his friends, but an honorable man who stands up for his enemies.”
