"Never forget you're a Bosniak, my darling Djamila. Hold this, about yourself, in the highest esteem and never allow it to be swept away because, if you do, the Christians will enthusiastically remind you what you are, and it won't be a pleasurable experience."
"Live a good life, my darling. I promise you, if any of those killed today could trade your place, they would change the world with the great lives they would lead. You have a responsibility to live not just for yourself, but on behalf of the thousands and thousands of our people that are no longer with us."
"You are not Muslim simply by being a Muslim, my darling. You know, in your heart, that you are Muslim but that does not have any impact on your life. You are Muslim by what you are, and how you treat others. That, my darling, is the most important thing."
"Take that thing off her head, Munira, because I fear I could be too rough if you refuse and force me to remove it myself. No daughter of mine is going to cover her hair in rags like a woman shamed. You hear me, Djamila? You hold your head high, and don't let anyone, I mean anyone, force you down."
"They ask us what we do for revenge. I tell them, we will rebuild our Bosnia and be, once again, something that is beautiful and good." - President Izetbegovic
"Nothing is worth more than this day."
