“As we talked I felt as if i had passed through an invisible barrier into another dimension governed by fundamentally different laws where the world that i had previously known had only marginal significance. Here, a man's body was a shadow, death was a process of life and the only truth was the mystery of God's purpose.”

“One thing the Shuravi do not understand, cannot understand, is our religion. A man who believes in God is stronger than a man who has no religion. Ten, twenty, thirty years from now the Shuravi will grow tired of the war, like the American people tired of the war in Vietnam. Communism began a hundred years ago and already it is old and confused. But God is eternal. Perhaps now you understand, Abdul Baz, why this jehad can only end in victory.”

“What do the Soviet pilots think as they press the fire control button? is there the same absense of emotion which I seek as i press the button of my camera? Do we both, for an instant, lose our humanity in machines?”
