“A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.”

“بالحب تتآلف المجرة، وبالحب تدوم المسرة، بالحب ترتسم على الثغر البسمة، وتنطلق من الفجر النسمة، وتشدو الطيور بالنغمة، أرض بلا حب صحراء ، وحديقة بلا حب جرداء، ومقلة بلا حب عمياء، وأذن بلا حب صماء!”
― عائض القرني, ضحايا الحب
