“If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself.

“I'd heard so many stupidities about my country since I left Iran. People had watched this stupid movie Not Without My Daughter [in which Sally Field plays an American who rescues her daughter from her estranged in-laws in Iran]; I heard so many things like that.
