Yasmina Khadra
“The Jew is born as free as the wind, as indomitable as the Judean desert. Why did he mark the boundaries of his homeland so carelessly that it was nearly taken from him? Because for a long time he believed that the Promised Land is, first and foremost, the land where there's no wall to keep him from seeing farther than his cries can carry.”
Yasmina Khadra, The Attack

Leïla Slimani
“Devenir une femme est un parcours semé d'humiliations. Face à la police, face à la justice comme dans l'espace public, être une femme est un inconvénient. Comme l'écrivait le romancier turc Livaneli dans son roman Délivrance (Gallimard), 'dans toute la Méditerranée, la notion d'honneur se situe entre les jambes des femmes.' Un poids bien lourd à porter pour la moitié de la population. Idéalisée, mythifiée, la virginité est évidemment un outil de coercition destiné à garder les femmes chez elles et à exercer sur elles une surveillance de tous les instants. Elle est un objet de préoccupation collective au lieu d'être une question d'ordre privé. Elle est aussi devenue une manne économique pour tous ceux qui pratiquent des dizaines de reconstitutions d'hymen chaque jour et pour certains laboratoires qui commercialisent de faux hymens, censés saigner le jour du rapport sexuel. La misère sexuelle, nous le verrons, est un capitalisme comme un autre.”
Leïla Slimani, Sexe et mensonges: La vie sexuelle au Maroc

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Make yourself a simpleton and follow the saint: You will find salvation only by being a simpleton. Hence, oh father, that king of men, the Prophet said, 'Most of the people of Paradise are simpletons.' Since cleverness is your pride, become a simpleton so that your heart may remain healthy. Not a simpleton warped by buffoonery, but one distraught and bewildered in God”
Rumi, مثنوی معنوی

Yasmina Khadra
“This room was our ivory tower, Sihem and mine. No one else was ever admitted here. Sometimes we'de come here to commune with our silence and reactivate our senses, dulled and blunted by the noises of every day. We'd bring a book or put on some music, and then we were off. We read Kafka as well as Khalil Gibran, and listened to Oum Kalthoum and Pavarotti with the same grattitude....”
Yasmina Khadra, The Attack

“They can take everything you own --your property, your best years, all your joys, all your good works, everything down to your last shirt-- but you'll always have your dreams, so you can reinvent your stolen world.”
Yasmina Khadra, The Attack
