I am a soul brother to everything that lives, to the giraffe and to the crocodile as much as to man."
"Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment."
"When phobia starts to build up in the psyche of thinking humanity against a part of its own kind, there is nothing more primordial and gruesome than that, especially when we are talking about a species that is supposedly the most intelligent one on Earth. Phobias recorded in DSM do not make a person lesser human, but Islamophobia does indeed define whether a person is really a thinking and sentient sapiens or an ignorant caveman."
