Worry is a useless mulling over of things we cannot change.

If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what's crushing you.

Obama has no power to change American policy because there are people who specialize in drawing these policies, which have been and still are hostile towards Islam.

I don't write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness.

And I do believe that the way to change a society, to uplift people - not just their spirit, but to uplift their society and economic base - is through education.
