“And you've screwed me up, Lib, because now I'm thinking in lyrics instead of original thoughts. I'm look at you and trying to find the words to convince you to be with me, and do you know what comes into you head? You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else. They aren't my words, I don't even know what song of album they're from, for God's sake, but it's exactly how I feel. And you taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else-like, I can't remember who wrote that, but I feel it down to the marrow in my bones. Being with you has changed the threads of my existence, I swear to God, so now being without you makes everything quieter, dimmer and duller. So. Much. Smaller.”

“I can be uncomfortable sometimes, and I can dislike how I look occasionally, but I can’t go through life hating my body. It’s the only one I get. I’d rather work to love the way it looks than work to change the way it looks, which is often fruitless effort anyway. And I know that bothers people sometimes, that I refuse to treat my body like a worst-case scenario. That I deign to care for it, and love it, even if I’m not always the most confident in it. Even if I have to sometimes be realistic about how others see me because of it.”

“If I considered other people's mediocre standards a sufficient metric by which to measure my own accomplishments, I'd never have amounted to anything.”

“Why would a semi-nude woman walking down the street — and the society around her — have a problem with a woman wearing a hijab? Because, deep down, both she and society are aware: silently, countless eyes are undressing her, treating her as a sexual object, looking at her as a showpiece of sex. It's not just about religion. It's a matter of an inferiority complex — something that, somewhere deep inside, feels like a quiet shame imposed on her dignity by her own choice of clothing and fashion. And so, for the sake of self-satisfaction, they want to snatch the hijab from another woman — a woman who chose the hijab just as another chooses semi-nude fashion. The woman in hijab pays the price for refusing to participate in the shame society and fashion tries to impose on her.”
