“… You can't unlearn something, even if you want to. You know what you know.”

“You don't know what it's like to have something happening inside you, that you can't see and can't control, and know it's all slipping through your fingers.”

“Because what’s worse than knowing you want something, besides knowing you can never have it?”

“I know what you want. You want a story that won't surprise you. That will confirm what you already know.”

“You think you know someone. But mostly you just know what you want to know.”

“You can't always get what you want, but if you really need something, you usually find it.”

“It's important to know what you don't want, but it's vital to know what you DO want.”

“It is impossible to know who you are and what you like and what you believe and what you want unless you know how you feel.”

“People say to write about what you know. I'm here to tell you, no one wants to read that, cos you don't know anything. So write about something you don't know. And don't be scared, ever.”

“Believe that if Allah wants you to know something, someone will tell you.”
