“अगर मुनकरिने ज़कात के ख़िलाफ़ क़िताल फ़र्ज़ है, जो हज़रत अबू बकर सिद्दीक़(رضي الله عنه) ने किया, तो क्या मुनकरिने अहले बैत, जो अहले बैत की फ़ज़ीलतों को नकार कर अहले बैत के ख़िलाफ़ तलवार ले कर खड़े हो गए, तो क्या उनके ख़िलाफ़ क़िताल फ़र्ज़ नहीं है ? क्या वो वाजिबुल क़त्ल नहीं है ?”

“As the statistician George E. P. Box wrote, "All models are wrong, but some models are useful." What he meant by that is that all models are simplifications of the universe, as they must necessarily be. As another mathematician said, "The best model of a cat is a cat." ... The key is in remembering that a model is a tool to help us understand the complexities of the universe, and never a substitute for the universe itself.”

“The intellectual is an individual endowed with a faculty for representing, embodying, articulating a message, a view, an attitude, philosophy or opinion to, as well as for, a public. And this role has an edge to it, and cannot be played without a sense of being someone whose place ti is publicly to raise embarrassing questions, to confront orthodoxy and dogma (rather than to produce them), to be someone who cannot easily be co-opted by governments or corporations, and whose raison d'etre is to represent all those people and issues that are routinely forgotten or swept under the rug.”
