“A woman's best protection is a little money of her own.”
― Clare Boothe Luce

“أَجَارَتَنَا إِنَّ الخُطُوبَ تَنُوبُ
ُوَإِنِّي مُقِيمٌ مَاأَقَامَ عَسِيب
أَجَارَتَنَا إِنَّا غَرِيبَانِ هَاهُنَا
ُوَكُلُّ غَرِيبٍ لِلغَريبِ نَسِيب
فَإِنْ تَصِلِينَا فَالقَرَابَةُ بَيْنَنَا
ُوَإِنْ تَصْرَمِينَا فَالغَريبُ غَريب
أجَارَتَنَا مَافَاتَ لَيْسَ يَؤؤبُ
ُومَاهُو آتٍ فِي الزَّمَانِ قَريب
ولَيْسَ غَريبًا مَنْ تَنَاءَتْ دِيَارُهُ
ُولَكِنَّ مَنْ وَارَى التُّرَابَ غَريب”
― امرؤ القيس, ديوان امرئ القيس

“If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”
― Abigail Adams, The Letters of John and Abigail Adams

“Don't worry about your studies. When you want to do them well you will do them superbly. But for the moment the main thing is to get what little happiness there is in this wartorn world because "these are only good old days" now.”
― Clare Boothe Luce
