“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.”

“I cannot have a man who is afraid of everything, I don't have the time to soothe insecurities and fears, I cannot have a man who is standing on a stone by a creek, watching for the fish to swim by and every time he sees a fish he says "Oh look, this fish scares me, I wonder what this fish means, this fish might mean- this, or this fish might mean- that" for God's sake, they are just fish, and they don't mean anything! Such a sad thing, so many fine, strong men standing on top of little stones, pointing at fish all the time! Such a waste! Such a waste of time! I can only have a man who will leap into the water, not minding the damn fish and whatever other little things that scare him. I need to have someone who is braver than me; if I am a pirate, he has to be the pirate Captain, if I am a pirate Captain he has to be the flying dragon.”

“إن الملايين ممن ينوون الهجرة يكونون قد هاجروا نفسيا لحظة تقديم الطلب و هجروا الوطن على المستوى الشعورى.و يظل حالهم على هذا,حتى لو ظلوا سنوات ينتظرون الإشارة بالرحيل.فتكون النتيجة الفعلية أننا نعيش فى بلد فيه الملايين من المهاحرين بالنية أو الذين رحلوا من هنا بأرواحهم, و لا تزال أبدانهم تتحرك وسط الجموع كأنها أبدان الموتى الذين فقدوا أرواحهم ,ولم يبق لديهم إلا الحلم الباهت بالرحيل النهائى.”
