“I'd like nothing better than to say that I was not afraid of Islam.”

“No time better than the present,’ I always say. Or was that, ‘Nothing is better than a present’? I forget.”

“But I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them. I would rather know all this about myself than have more money than I need. I'd rather have something to love than a way to impress you.”

“In fact, I'd go one better, and venture that there's nothing more important than friendship: if it should then take you to the ends of the earth with someone you like and admire, so much the better”

“I never said I liked coffee better than sex. I said I'd had it more.”

“Nothing cuts deeper than when another person says exactly what you're afraid to say out loud.”
