Quotes by Leila Khaled  (?)

“As a child of four, I found myself burdened by the adult problems of life and death, right and wrong. I, as a dreamer, living on the bare subsistence provided by a UN blue ration card, in a crowded room, on a side street in Sour, stand as a witness to Zionist inhumanity. I charge the world for its acquiescence in my destruction.”
Leila Khaled, My People Shall Live: Autobiography of a Revolutionary as Told to George Hajjar

“I've had casual boyfriends but never became really attached to any man. The older I grew the more attached I became to the revolution.”
Leila Khaled, My People Shall Live: Autobiography of a Revolutionary as Told to George Hajjar

“Meanwhile, my fellow Fatehites in Kuwait were kind enough to find a role for me. They proposed that a group of us do something creative for the summer of 1968. They suggested we could perform two important tasks— assisting overworked mothers in the "refugee" camps and visiting the families of our martyrs. "Social work", I scoffed, "is not social revolution. I want to participate fully in the revolution.”
