“إن كل شيءٍ هنا يعاندني ولكن عليّ أن لا أصدّق ذلك، عليّ أن أصدّق ما يقال وأشيح عن التساؤل والمساءلة، إنهم يقولون وحسب، يقولون وحسب، لا يكلفون أنفسهم إلا عناء القول ويتركون الفهم اليائس لأمثالي: المرأة لا تصلح للقيادة، المرأة لا تصلح للبرلمان، المرأة لا تصلح للرياضيات، لماذا ينبغي أن يخبرني العالم عن مكاني الصحيح عوضاً عن أن أكتشفه بنفسي؟”

“Don't be too quick to draw conclusions from what happens to you; simply let it happen. Otherwise it will be too easy for you to look with blame... at your past, which naturally has a share with everything that now meets you.”

“Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any misery, any depression, since after all you don't know what work these conditions are doing inside you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question of where all this is coming from and where it is going? Since you know, after all, that you are in the midst of transitions and you wished for nothing so much as to change. If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better.”
