“I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman's inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman's fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men."
"Perhaps I shall. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to examples in books. Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.”

“قد كنت اعرف ان يوماً ما سيأتي
فيه تمضي للبعيد
أعددت زادك بسمتي وقصائدى
كيف ابتسامتي ان رحلت
وبعد ظعنك ما القصيد؟
أواه من زمنٍ يعاندني ومن قلب عنيد
اواه منك غداً ستمضي معجلاً
واظل اقتات الآسى
كيف احتباس الدمع بعدك
عندما يأتي المسا
كيف اصطبار القلب عنك وبالحنين قد اكتسى
بل كيف يبحر قاربُُ
في اليم تاه ومارسى”
