― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

“No religion with a universal message . . . under one flag can even momentarily entertain the idea of employing force to spread its message. Swords can win territories, but not hearts. Force can bend heads, but not minds.”
― Mirza Tahir Ahmad
