“I cannot emphasize enough how wrongheaded this is. Withholding criticism and ignoring differences are racism in its purest form. Yet these cultural experts fail to notice that, through their anxious avoidance of criticizing non-Western countries, they trap the people who represent these cultures in a state of backwardness.

― Ayaan Hirsi Ali, The Caged Virgin: An Emancipation Proclamation for Women and Islam

“Rest and be thankful.”
― William Wordsworth

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life”
― Muhammad Ali
