- We had no ambition for more land or power, and nothing in the religion commands us to conquer non-Yazidis and spread our faith.
- I want to be the last girl in the world with a story like mine.
- I was only one of hundreds of thousands of Yazidi victims.
- I still think that being forced to leave your home out of fear is one of the worst injustices a human being can face.
