“Don't leave a job just because you don't enjoy it as much as you should. Life is never as enjoyable anyway. Look at me. Look at the luxuries I enjoy everyday and yet take it all for granted. They don't make me happy.”

“Always play fair when you can. Your personal life aside, you are a rising star today. Son, people will throw themselves at you. The world will be open for you. If you're serious about someone, just go for it, take it to the next level, but just make sure that person is worth it. The world is already a sad place without us making stupid mistakes only to regret them later on. And the grief of a broken heart, Oh Ali, that is something else altogether.”

“I wouldn't presume to be a judge of other people's behaviour, but I believe that in our culture, women deserve a certain respect. In every culture, to be honest. Not that I've ever been out of Pakistan, but from what I've seen on television and generally observed in foreign visitors, they respect their women. People here disparage their culture, their values, but I don't think they're much different from us.”

“I might not always be around, Ali - no one ever is. You should study hard, beta, very hard. Life waits for no one, and before you know it, it slips away from your fingers like sand. Never take the good times in your life for granted. Now kiss your brother's forehead, and promise me you'll do your best.”

“Ali folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the doorway again. From the model's deep words, he knew nothing had changed. This profession was still filled with arrogant, thankless people who would rather be doing a thousand other things instead, but still stood here, readying themselves for another session of being gawked at like animals in a zoo, to be bought and sold like whores on the street. Everyone in this industry had a price. As he witnessed the first round of models leave for the ramp, his heart fell a little for the inexperienced girls who seemed to hover in the air with excitement. They were in for a surprise. They didn't know yet that they had traded in their souls for this profession.”
