“Saudis of all sorts recent having to beg princes for favors to secure services that should be a public right”
Karen Elliott House, On Saudi Arabia: Its People, Past, Religion, Fault Lines - and Future

“Ask not what you can do for your country but what your country can do for you” is the mentality of most Saudi youth.”
Karen Elliott House, On Saudi Arabia: Its People, Past, Religion, Fault Lines - and Future

They want a government that is a transparent and accountable, one that provides standards services such as are available in far less wealthy societies: good education, job, affordable housing , and decent health care.”
Karen Elliott House, On Saudi Arabia: Its People, Past, Religion, Fault Lines - and Future
