“This is what I’ve learned: The art is greater than you and your feelings. You have to serve it. It is not you. Some people will never understand that, but you need to surround yourself with people who do understand it. And you need to understand it yourself. Whatever you’re creating may come from within you and your life, but then—almost like a child, it comes out of your body and it grows up and walks away. It walks away and affects other people you don’t know and have never met. That’s the beauty of it, and the reason I keep trying new things. You never know who it will effect.”

“My life has always been so easy. Everything here is so simple. Problems are not really problems. I‟ve never felt cornered, hurt or threatened in my whole life. If someone would abuse me, or scare me, like a bully, I could always get the help of a parent or a teacher, or even the police. I admire Basya so much. I don‟t know how she can be so strong, then I realize she has no choice. The alternative is giving up, and she‟ll never give up. She could stop her education like her friend Silsila”

“I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief... I'm not in the business of offending people. I find the books upholding certain values that I think are important, such as life is immensely valuable and this world is an extraordinarily beautiful place. We should do what we can to increase the amount of wisdom in the world. [Washington Post interview, 19 February 2001]”

“If we think that we can do something big and include passion, it does not mean that you will be able to do it. There are different situations for all human beings in life; the circumstances of their life and your life are not the same. That's why instead of doing something big, think of doing something good and big according to the situation. Do not lose your senses in the absence of books and online videos.”

“There is no better way to crush someone’s self-confidence than to tell this person that her / his choice was wrong, and that she / he should have listened to us (parents). Because, obviously, we know how to make the right choices and she / he does not.”

“Somewhere beyond all that, on an unseeable horizon, was Morrighan and all the people who lived there, going about their lives, unaware. My brothers. Pauline. Berdi. Gwyneth. And more patrols like Walther's who would meet their deaths, as unaware as I had once been. I want to go with you. Where I was going was no place for Natiya. It was hardly a place for me.”
