“The Los Angeles Air Pollution Control Board is established in 1946 in an effort to discover the cause of the brown cloud hanging over the city and decide how to combat and disperse it.

There is no one else to break the solitude of a long cross-country flight. There is no one else to make decisions.”

“What is needed is a move beyond tradition, nothing less than a reform movement to bring the core concepts of Islam into the modern age, a Muslim Reformation to combat not only the jihadist ideologues but also the dusty, stifling seminaries of the traditionalists, throwing open the windows to let in much-needed fresh air....

Broad-mindedness is related to tolerance; open-mindedness is the sibling of peace.”

“There are lots of grounds for hope in Israeli society. We are seeing Israelis getting fed up with war, looking for solutions. The youngest soldiers are refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories.

We have the elite of the Israeli army, the air force pilots, some of them refusing orders which they consider illegal.”
