“Men find it easier to believe they have been swindled by a witch than outwitted by a woman.”
Shannon Chakraborty, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“And then we do a much greater disservice to girls, because we raise them to cater to the fragile egos of males. We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man. If you are the breadwinner in your relationship with a man, pretend that you are not, especially in public, otherwise you will emasculate him.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“Wherever there is a war and painful partition, there will be no winners, human or otherwise.”
Elif Shafak, The Island of Missing Trees

“Some day this pain will be useful to you.”
Elif Shafak, The Island of Missing Trees

Elif Shafak
“She had never told her friends this, not in so many words, but they were her safety net. Every time she stumbled or keeled over, they were there for her, supporting her or softening the impact of the fall. On nights when she was mistreated by a client, she would still find the strength to hold herself up, knowing that her friends, with their very presence, would come with ointment for her scrapes and bruises; and on days when she wallowed in self-pity, her chest cracking open, they would gently pull her up and breathe life into her lungs.”
Elif Shafak, 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World
