I hope that with the success of the transition to democracy in Tunisia that we will export to Egypt a working democratic model.

Al-Nahda is a movement; it is not just a small party.

I dream of a free, democratic, peaceful Tunisia, a country that can protect its developing identity.

The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
