I was just then going through a healthy reaction from the orthodoxy of my youth religion had become for me not so much a possession as an obsession which I was trying to throw off and this iconoclastic tale of an imaginary tribe was the result.

Islam is a violent I was going to say religion but it's not a religion. It's a political system. It's a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination. That is the ultimate aim.

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.

In the past I would self destruct when it came to love - I was immature throwing myself into things but now times have changed I want a relationship where you understand the other person.

Don't throw petals on the floor if they have no meaning. I would rather have a fun casual relationship than have someone pretending they're completely in love with me.

The power which establishes a state is violence the power which maintains it is violence the power which eventually overthrows it is violence.

With everything that's thrown at you whether it be problems at home problems at work - whatever - basically if you remain positive you can see your way out of that.

I think positive. I always think we're going to score. Two minutes is a lot of time if you have timeouts and you're throwing every down. You have to make the right decisions. I've always had great receivers which helps. It's not just me doing it.

This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud he sits upon the throne.

I love to compare different time frames. Poetry can evoke the time of the subject. By a very careful choice of words you can evoke an era completely throw the poem into a different time scale.
