Some suggestions for you :

I reject any path which rejects life, but I can't help loving Sufism because it sounds so beautiful. It gives relief in the midst of battle.

I started writing while I was a little boy. Maybe it's because I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday. Also, my love for good writing pushed me.

I didn't make any money from my writing until much later. I published about 80 stories for nothing. I spent on literature.

At my age it is unseemly to be pessimistic.

History is full of people who went to prison or were burned at the stake for proclaiming their ideas. Society has always defended itself.

Happy is he who can give himself up.

I believe society has a right to defend itself, just as the individual has the right to attack that with which he disagrees.

I defend both the freedom of expression and society's right to counter it. I must pay the price for differing. It is the natural way of things.

I accepted the interviews and encounters that had to be held with the media, but I would have preferred to work in peace.
