“Dalam hati setiap wanita yang bergelar Muslim itu sepatutnya memang tidak berbelah bahagi diserahkan kepada DIA. Tiada belah bahagi untuk mengatakan yang DIA adalah segalanya, lebih daripada yang lain. Pada DIA diletakkan ketakutan. Pada DIA diletakkan harapan. Pada DIA diletakkan kepercayaan. Pada DIA dipohon pertolongan. Pada DIA dipintakan kasih sayang. Hanya DIA.”

“To me, the poor are like Bonsai trees. When you plant the best seed of the tallest tree in a six-inch deep flower pot, you get a perfect replica of the tallest tree, but it is only inches tall. There is nothing wrong with the seed you planted; only the soil-base you provided was inadequate.
Poor people are bonsai people. There is nothing wrong with their seeds. Only society never gave them a base to grow on.”
