“Aku percaya apa pun pekerjaan yang dilakukan seseorang tertentu pasti mendatangkan manfaat, bentuknya bermcam-macam dan tidak nyata. Tidak mungkin orang melakukan sesuatu tanpa ada tujuan kalau bukan orang tersebut salah urat. (dari buku "Burung Terbang di Kelam Malam")”

“These stories have a dark side. Outsiders and eccentrics are regarded with suspicion, tortured, even killed. The major theme that emerges is of families diminished by conflict; almost a generation of adult males appears to be missing. Their absence is balanced by a number of strong female presences. This also reflects the dominance of women in the Acehnese household. Azhari is a master of suspense. He wastes no words; his narration is sparse. The overall atmosphere of the stories in Nutmeg Woman is tense and anxious. If there is a message, it is a plea for peace and tolerance and an end to bloodshed and oppression.”

“One week after New Year's Day in 2006, I was on a flight to Aceh…As we walked down the steps on to the tarmac, the air felt humid and tropical, familiar and almost Balinese. It felt like going home. As the heavy air embraced me, my first inclination was to relax into it, but yet this was not home and my entire body remained on edge.”

“Adat Berdaulat. Saya kira adat berdaulat harus terus digemakan. Dan bukan hanya di Aceh, adat sebagai peradaban dikenal di seluruh tanah Melayu Asia Tenggara. Kalau Yunani yang kecil bisa memenuhi kepala setiap orang di dunia dengan demokrasi, mestinya wilayah tanah Melayu yang luas juga bisa diseminasikan gagasan-gasasan khas adat kepada dunia.”
