The alternatives in my life went through my mind. Unemployed, alone, despairing, watching daytime TV. That couldn't end well.

Or helping people, like genuinely making a difference. Imagine waking up and doing that every day? ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
Honour, in her modern self-confidence, had grown up never having to face actual raw, passionate, drop-down-dead-hostility. She didn't really understand what was going to happen, ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
I steadied by guitar against the table, and steadied myself with it.

And forgot every rule I had ever known. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
I couldn't help but think of Al's pre-ordained betrothal to Billo and of how hard the match-makers had worked to find the girl beautiful enough to match this extraordinary man - this extraordinary man of mine. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
When I was a child I burnt the back of my right hand on a hot iron.

I can't recall the pain, but there's an eye-shaped scar as testament to it. As a teenager I used to think it was the all seeing eye of the anti-Christ and that I was the devil incarnate. Or at least a minion.

It was my right hand, innit?

What I do remember though is my father, or Dad as we called him, abandoning the polite Abbu, telling me not to cry and to be patient because the fires of hell were seventy times hotter than the fire of the iron. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
He looked straight at me and winked. On anyone else it would have looked ridiculous - 1996 had moved beyond the language of winking at girls. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
The fire within her, and her soul, were eclipsing my own. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
Do you have a girlfriend?'
'No,' I said quickly.

Deny Honour again. Peter only denied Jesus three times. I must have denied Honour like three thousand times. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
My heart was in my mouth. I realised that I had no desire to know any more about her past. What was behind her made me feel sick, petrified. Only the future mattered now. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
It was things like that I remembered about Ruby, the incongruity, the struggle to find herself.

No matter what she wore though she was always Ruby, always herself. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
Do you ever look up at the stars and try to contemplate the ends of the universe? ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
They say some couples are joined in heaven, and on Earth they look for their partner soul to be with.

I knew I had found mine in her. And who can fight heaven? ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
People don't really change, they just adapt to circumstances. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
Her voice was erudite, interesting; the voice of someone who straddled two cultures with a surety and style that I wished my boyfriend could find. She was smart, funny, and, above all, completely capable of controlling her life and what happened to it. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
I would find tiny flowers left by somebody else, and I would know Honour had been to London. I only felt a bit sad she hadn't let me know and met up with me.

She didn't mention anything when I went to Kent at the weekends either.

It was what it was. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
9/11 forced us to build another identity, to look deep and say who are we and what do we believe and is killing in the name of Islam part of that religion?

No. No. No. ~ Ruth Ahmed
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ruth Ahmed
Sarah Palin has already had an effect on foreign relations ... The new president of Pakistan, Ali Zardari, is in hot water, because last week, Sarah was on a class trip to New York, where she met foreign leaders ... And one of the leaders she met was Zardari, and he was gushing over her. He said, oh, you're more gorgeous in person than you are on TV. And so the people in his home country of Pakistan, the Islamists, they issued a fatwa on him, for being too 'flirty.' And when Sarah today was told that Zardari had gotten a fatwa because of her, she said, 'I know, I felt it when he hugged me.' ~ Bill Maher
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Bill Maher
At an age when most children love to play with toys, he played with weapons. ~ Nawab Shafath Ali Khan
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Nawab Shafath Ali Khan
But something about having Ali there made him feel...lighter. Dare he admit it? Maybe even a teensy bit happy?

"Nate?"

Scratch that. He didn't just want to take on the world when she said his name like that, he wanted to take on the whole friggin' galaxy. ""Yeah?"

"I'm toughing you."

No doubt about that. The baseball bat he was trying to conceal behind his zipper was testimony enough. "I noticed. ~ Julie Ann Walker
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Julie Ann Walker
True giving happens when we give from our heart. ~ Muhammad Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Muhammad Ali
If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut. ~ Ali MacGraw
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali MacGraw
Since no two days are the same,we must be entering life's classroom when we wake up each morning ~ Kamil Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Kamil Ali
However, some things must be said, and there are times when silence becomes an accomplice to injustice. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
I can remember a couple of real fights when I ran. Because they were kinda dangerous. ~ Muhammad Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Muhammad Ali
Muslims insult all other religions. The Quran is an insult to the Jews, the Christians and everyone else. It calls the Jews apes, pigs and rats. All the non-believers are najis (filthy, impure) and hell bond. The Quran even instructs the Muslims to fight the unbelievers, chop their fingertips, behead them, crucify them and deal with them harshly. 5:33, 9:14, 9:73 However, Muslims went berserk when a Danish Newspaper published a few cartoons of Muhammad. ~ Ali Sina
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Sina
When a people has no translations and is unable to promote its culture, it does not exist. ~ Bakhtyar Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Bakhtyar Ali
As a legal text, the Qur'an reflects its origins in a tribal or clan-based society, particularly on issues concerning inheritance, male guardianship, the validity of a woman's testimony in court, and polygamy. This is even more obvious in the hadith, the compilation of sayings attributed to the Prophet or documenting his actions. This combination of the Qur'an and the example of Muhammad forms the basis of sharia. The derivation of these legal rules, known as fiqh, is the responsibility of Islamic jurists and takes place on the basis of ijma (consensus). When conflicts of interpretation arise, scholars consult the Qur'an and hadith. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
I've been on planes flying through thunder storms when the pilot says, 'ladies and gentlemen, we tried to fly around it but we can't so it's going to be rough'.And when a pilot says it's going to be bad, it's going to be rough. And you say to youself, boy, I could have got the train. ~ Muhammad Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Muhammad Ali
I would say things like 'I am the greatest! I'm pretty! If you talk jive, you'll drop in five! I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! I'm pretty!' When white people heard me talking like this, some said, 'That black man talks too much. He's bragging.' ~ Muhammad Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Muhammad Ali
What I do when it distresses me that there's something I can't remember, is. Are you listening?
Yes, Elisabeth said through the crying.
I imagine that whatever it is I've forgotten is folded close to me, like a sleeping bird.
What kind of bird? Elisabeth said.
A wild bird, Daniel said. Any kind. You'll know what kind when it happens. Then, what I do is, I just hold it there, without holding it to tight, and I let it sleep. And that's that. ~ Ali Smith
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Smith
But now we live in a time and in a culture when mystery tends to mean something more answerable, it means a crime novel, a thriller, a drama on TV, usually one where we'll find out - and where the whole point of reading it or watching it will be that we will find out - what happened. ~ Ali Smith
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Smith
There is at least one species of jellyfish that can grow younger, which is something that pretty much no creature on Earth can do. Don't believe me? Look it up. Turritopsis dohrinii. The immortal jellyfish.
When it's threatened, Turritopsis dohrinii can return from its adult medusa stage, the stage where a jellyfish looks like a jellyfish, all the way back into a younger stage, where it clings to the bottom of the ocean floor for safety. Theoretically, it can do this indefinitely: grow old, then young, old, then young, and never really die.
It would be as if, when everything started going wrong, when it started getting stressful, we could have just gone backward. Imagine that. Imagine if we could have said, "Oops, this is too hard," and shrunk in size, returned to a place of being just kids, the way we always had been.
And we could just stay there, tethered safely, forever. ~ Ali Benjamin
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Benjamin
When you meet & connect with the right people in life, it's like matching frequencies, you feel empowered & blessed. ~ Mohsin Ali Shaukat
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Mohsin Ali Shaukat
The only person I ever wanted to meet was Muhammad Ali. And of all the people I've ever met, he's the one who most impressed me. It's tough to listen to him. You gotta have patience. But you see how strong his mind is. Even now, he's one of the most intelligent people on the planet. ~ Carmelo Anthony
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Carmelo Anthony
Who knows. Maybe everybody's end isn't the day they actually die, but the last time anyone speaks of them. Maybe when you die you don't really disappear, but you fade into a shadow, dark and featureless, only your outlines visible. ~ Ali Benjamin
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Benjamin
I first met Nelson Mandela when I was in my late 20s, in 1993. I was helping facilitate an African National Congress (ANC) workshop to plan its media strategy. I went down to meet him for the first time and you know me I got stupid ... I just choked. I said, "Hello Madiba, it's a real honour to meet you," and I couldn't get another word out. ~ Kumi Naidoo
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Kumi Naidoo
When your life is threatened, whether it's by human beings or by disease or whatever, you come to appreciate life. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Words can mean different things to different people. It is important to understand what people mean when they use a certain word. Let's make an example. Take the word gay. Fifty years ago, gay meant exclusively cheerfulness, lighthearted excitement, merry or bright colors. Today this word has a different meaning. You won't call a cheerful person gay because it could be understood as something else. ~ Ali Sina
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Sina
In the end Suzanne, it's a gift to spend time with people we care about. Even if it's imperfect. Even if that time doesn't end when, or how, we expected. Even when that person leaves us. ~ Ali Benjamin
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Benjamin
The name Muhammad is the most common name in the world. In all the countries around the world - Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon - there are more Muhammads than anything else. When I joined the Nation of Islam and became a Muslim, they gave me the most famous name because I was the champ. ~ Muhammad Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Muhammad Ali
Last night I had a dream. When I got to Africa, I had one hell of a rumble. I had to beat Tarzan's behind first, for claiming to be King of the Jungle. ~ Muhammad Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Muhammad Ali
We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children ~ Muhammad Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Muhammad Ali
More disturbing than hurt is love when it's wrong. ~ Ali Land
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Land
You know it's right when you feel this undeniable connection and chemistry. ~ Ali Larter
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Larter
Ali Bell doesn't play hide-and-seek," Lucas said. "She plays hide-and-pray-I-don't-find-you."
Mackenzie smiled. "When Ali Bell gives you the finger, she's telling you how many seconds you have to live."
Cole chuckled, saying, "Fear of spiders is arachnophobia, and fear of tight spaces is claustrophobia, but fear of Ali Bell is just called logic."
"Oh, oh." Kat clapped excitedly. "There used to be a street named after Ali Bell, but it was changed because nobody crosses Ali Bell and lives. True story. ~ Gena Showalter
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Gena Showalter
Before the 1975 fight in Manila, Ali bragged about attending a Ku Klux Klan meeting; he met with the KKK's leadership because they agreed on the issue of interracial marriage (both sides saw it as an atrocity). The ~ Chuck Klosterman
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Chuck Klosterman
Challenge a person's beliefs, and you challenge his dignity, standing, and power. And when those beliefs are based on nothing but faith, they are chronically fragile. No one gets upset about the belief that rocks fall down as opposed to up, because all sane people can see it with their own eyes. Not so for the belief that babies are born with original sin or that God exists in three persons or that Ali is the second-most divinely inspired man after Muhammad. When people organize their lives around these beliefs, and then learn of other people who seem to be doing just fine without them
or worse, who credibly rebut them
they are in danger of looking like fools. Since one cannot defend a belief based on faith by persuading skeptics it is true, the faithful are apt to react to unbelief with rage, and may try to eliminate that affront to everything that makes their lives meaningful. ~ Steven Pinker
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Steven Pinker
I was a Muslim once, remember, and it was when I was most devout that I was most full of hate. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
The thing about trees is that they know what to do. When a leaf loses its colour, it's not because its time is up and it's dying, it's because the tree is taking back into itself the nutrients the leaf's been holding in reserve for it, out there on the twig, and why leaves change colour in autumn is because the tree is preparing for winter, it's filling itself with its own stored health so it can withstand the season. Then, clever tree, it literally pushes the used leaf off with the growth that's coming behind it. But because that growth has to protect itself through winter too, the tree fills the little wound in its branch or twig where the leaf was with a protective corky stuff which seals it against cold and bacteria.
Otherwise every leaf lost would be an open wound on a tree and a single tree would be covered in thousands of little wounds.
Clever trees. ~ Ali Smith
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Smith
Only the nose knows
Where the nose goes
When the door close. ~ Muhammad Ali
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Muhammad Ali
The displacement of class politics by identity politics has been very confusing to older Marxists, who for many years clung to the old industrial working class as their preferred category of the underprivileged. They tried to explain this shift in terms of what Ernest Gellner labeled the "Wrong Address Theory": "Just as extreme Shi'ite Muslims hold that Archangel Gabriel made a mistake, delivering the Message to Mohamed when it was intended for Ali, so Marxists basically like to think that the spirit of history or human consciousness made a terrible boob. The awakening message was intended for classes, but by some terrible postal error was delivered to nations. ~ Francis Fukuyama
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Francis Fukuyama
Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people may mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company. ~ Ali Ibn Abi Talib
When Ali Met Honour quotes by Ali Ibn Abi Talib
You train your heart to control your body. That's what you do when you fast. ~ Nouman Ali Khan
