I love the truth. Tell the truth and live the truth, because we've seen enough lies and look what it's doing.

Women’s loyalty has to be earned with trust and affection, rather than barbaric rituals. The time has come to leave the old ways of suffering behind

My mother named me after a miracle of nature: Waris means desert flower. The desert flower blooms in a barren environment where few living things can survive.

Because women and girls are not valued equally as human beings, they are treated as less than such. Female genital mutilation is one example of this that has to be stopped.

Every day, women move mountains. It is an insult to have an international women's day.

Give love and share happiness with the people around you, and never give up fighting for what you believe in.

I always knew, from the very day of my own mutilation, that I would one day fight against this practice. I did not know how and when, but I knew that I would fight it.

I know what I am fighting for. I am fighting for the most basic rights of innocent children. And that is why I never take the criticism too deep under my skin.

We need to empower women: provide them with work for their own income, and teach them to become independent of men so they will never have to have their children suffering the same torture.

Sometimes I wonder where I am from. I am either way ahead or I come from another world. I don't recognise this world.

Don’t do to your daughters what has been done to you! They are perfect and beautiful.

All of life is a test.

May God direct your path.

Running helped me learn how to deal with failure, and failure is a big part of the Internet business.

Stones of small worth may lie unseen by day, But night itself does the rich gem betray.

Well, there were several things. One was that the industry itself built in Detroit was abandoning the city - taking factories elsewhere, the corporate headquarters elsewhere.

I don't know what will become of this piece. Our brave critics will no doubt charge me with imitating Ravel's Bolero. Too bad - this is how I hear war.

You will, in time, see and show others not just the superficial, but the details, the meanings, and the implications of all that you look at.

I love classical music; I love the way it's worked... all those chord sequences so I often use that sort of effect in my solos.

Rock... is the expression of elemental passions... In the ecstasy of having all their defenses torn down, the participants sink, as it were, beneath the elemental force of the universe.

Man is a greater miracle than any god he ever invented.
