Quote by Reza Aslan

“Like a Jewish rabbi, a Sunni cleric is a scholar, not a priest. His judgment is followed not because it carries the authority of God (it does not), but because the cleric's scholarship, his intimate knowledge of tradition, and his unbreakable bond with the past grant him special insight into God's will.”

“There were times I'd see [my brother] looking at me and I would leave the room crying. I knew that I'd never be loved like that again. I just thought that we would always be together. I know you think I should have seen that as more aberrant than I did, but my life is not like yours. My hour. My day. I used to dream about our first time together. I do yet. I wanted to be revered. I wanted to be entered like a cathedral.”

“La vida, como un comentario de otra cosa que no alcanzamos, y que está ahí al alcance del salto que no damos. La vida, un ballet sobre un tema histórico, una historia sobre un hecho vivido, un hecho vivido sobre un hecho real. La vida, fotografía del número, posesión en las tinieblas (¿mujer, monstruo?), la vida, proxeneta de la muerte, espléndida baraja, tarot de claves olvidadas que unas manos gotosas rebajan a un triste solitario.”

“Hay una teoría que afirma que si alguien descubriera lo que es exactamente el universo y el porqué de su existencia, desaparecería al instante y sería sustituido por algo aún más extraño e inexplicable. Hay otra teoría que afirma que eso ya ha ocurrido”

“Que la vida tiene ironías, se dice, cuando lo cierto es que es la más obtusa de todas las cosas conocidas, un día alguien debió decirle, Sigue adelante, siempre adelante, no te salgas de tu camino, y desde entonces, inepta, incapaz de aprender con las lecciones que tiene a gala enseñarnos, no ha hecho nada más que cumplir a ciegas la orden que le dieron, atropellando todo cuanto se encuentra a su paso, sin detenerse para valorar los daños, para pedirnos perdón, por lo menos una vez.”
