“There is a kind of malicious wink, a contemptuous sneer in the public voices claiming the hippies as heroes. The hippies are a desperate herd looking for a master, to be taken over by anyone - anyone who would tell them how to live without demanding the effort of thinking. Theirs is the mentality ready for a fuhrer.”

“A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane and smells like Cheetah.”

“Zeus looked like a really buff, really angry hippie.”

“He who doesn’t know how to be a servant should never be allowed to be a master; the interests of public life are alien to anyone who is unable to enjoy others’ successes, and such a person should never be entrusted with public affairs.”

“For anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful. Hence one must choose a master, God being out of style.”

“Religion means living your own life, completely fresh and new, without being taken in by anyone.”

“Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them.”

“Anyone who claimed that old age had brought them patience was either lying or senile.”

“'A'isha said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say in this house of his, 'O Allah, anyone who is appointed over any of the affairs of my community and is hard on them, I will be hard on him. Anyone who is appointed over any of the affairs of my community and is kind to them, I will be kind to him."”

“I've never met anyone who wanted to be a terrorist. They are desperate people.”
