I believe in absolute freedom of expression. Everyone has a right to offend and be offended.

I strongly believe that no one can be a true feminist without being an atheist. All religions are anti-women. No one can be pro-woman while supporting anti-woman dogmas.

Nature says women are human beings, men have made religions to deny it. Nature says women are human beings, men cry out no!

It is unfair to label me anti-Islam. I am an atheist and a secular humanist.

Koranic teaching still insists that the sun moves around the earth. How can we advance when they teach things like that?

I have had fatwas issued against me, some three in Bangladesh and another five in India. I will not be cowed by these threats and shall fight for my rights.

I am an atheist. I do not believe in prayers, I believe in work. And my work is that of an author. My pen is my weapon.

Religion, society and state - from none of these do women get their proper honor. It is religion, which has created an unparalleled disparity between men and women.

All I ever want is to return to either Bangladesh, my motherland, or India, my adopted home.

If any religion allows the persecution of the people of different faiths, if any religion keeps women in slavery, if any religion keeps people in ignorance, then I can't accept that religion.

I write against the religion because if women want to live like human beings, they will have to live outside the religion and Islamic law.

I am lithe, but fragile from constant involuntary self-analysis.

For some folks fate has set countless falls and a fewer loves. If they farewell faith, then, farewell their chance of lifelong happiness.

I always say that modernization is not an abstract thing; its a very specific task.

There are never victories in conservation. If you want to save a species or a habitat, it's a fight forevermore. You can never turn your back.

Knowledge is little; to know the right context is much; to know the right spot is everything.

When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.

Some of the things you believe were never true. They were someone else's fears. Give yourself a chance to examine your thoughts. Change those that are negative. You are deserving.

If I could read a book, I'd definitely read one of yours.

There is no shame — having a dirty face — the shame comes when you keep it dirty.

Women are angels, wooing: Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing: That she beloved knows naught, that knows not this-- Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
