The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.

We believe that Lebanon has been the first real experience for all the Arabs.

Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine.

Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.

I have been blessed in many ways, and one of those is to have been born in Africa, for me a great treasure house of stories. I have been researching it since my infancy reading about it, talking to men and women who have spent their lives in this land, living it as I have and loving it as I do. I write almost entirely from my own experience.
