I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art. – Khalil Gibran
Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking. – Khalil Gibran
I think its been hard for people to understand how Islam can be a good religion, and yet the Islamists are evil. Those of us who have had experience with Islam understand this, just as we understand the difference between snake handlers and people going to church on Sunday morning. – P. J. ORourke
