“life is a conflict of contradiction it is like an extremist balance.”

“I don't want to teach Pakistani's children to think like Americans...I just want them to have a balanced, non-extremist education”

“I don't like the new president who hunts muslim extremists, I like the old president who is a muslim extremist.”

“Well now you're contradicting yourself. With balance there cannot be chaos. With randomness there can be no punishment. You're pleading for punishment in hopes that you'll see your God. Without punishment there is no God. If there is balance then there is your Lord. If balance then afterlife.”

“The question is not if we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.”

“A kiss, she thinks, has to be entirely balanced -- it has to have a little conflict, a little dialectic, a little revolution.”
