Reality Has Become So Intolerable,

Unfortunately For Governments Like That Of Iran, When They Forbid Something, People Become More Interested.

It Is Only Through Literature That One Can Put Oneself In Someone Else’s Shoes And Understand The Other’s Different And Contradictory Sides And Refrain From Becoming Too Ruthless. Outside The Sphere Of Literature Only One Aspect Of Individuals Is Revealed. But If You Understand Their Different Dimensions You Cannot Easily Murder Them.

I Think Islam Is In A Sense, In Crisis. It Needs To Question And Re-question Itself.

Reality Has Become So Intolerable, She Said, So Bleak, That All I Can Paint Now Are The Colors Of My Dreams.
