Story of My Life: "there cannot be intelligence without communication"
Shaikh Hamza Yusuf
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference: "People say to you, "You've changed", or something like that.  Well, I hope, for the sake of God, that you have changed, because I don't want to be the same person all my life. I want to be growing, I want to be expanding. I want to be changing; Because animate things change, inanimate things don't change. Dead things don't change. And the heart should be alive, it should be changing, it should be moving, it should be growing.  Its knowledge should be expanding. "
Shaikh Hamza Yusuf
What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures: "Imam ul-Mazari, The great scholar from Tunisia: It was said about him, that his knowledge was so vast, he could rarely condemn anybody for anything. That's how vast his knowledge was. He could rarely condemn anybody, for anything. Because he would always find some opinion, some position. As far as I can see: that is close to the spirit of our Prophet (SAW). "
