Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.”
Rumi

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”
Rumi

Nawal El Saadawi
“Yet not for a single moment did I have any doubts about my own integrity and honour as a woman. I knew that my profession had been invented by men, and that men were in control of both our worlds, the one on earth, and the one in heaven. That men force women to sell their bodies at a price, and that the lowest paid body is that of a wife. All women are prostitutes of one kind or another.”
Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“silence is the language of god,
all else is poor translation.”
Rumi

Nawal El Saadawi
“Here the oppression of women is very subtle. If we take female circumcision, the excision of the clitoris, it is done physically in Egypt. But here it is done psychologically and by education. So even if women have the clitoris, the clitoris was banned; it was removed by Freudian theory and by the mainstream culture. ”
Nawal El Saadawi
