“Men cheat because it’s in their genetic code. A woman does it because she doesn’t have enough
dignity; in addition to handing over her body, she always ends up handing over a bit of her heart. A
true crime. A theft. It’s worse than robbing a bank, because if one day she is discovered (and she
always is), she will cause irreparable damage to her family.
For men it is just a “stupid mistake.” For women, it feels like a spiritual crime against all those
who surround her with affection and support her as a mother and wife.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery

“من أين جاءتها كل تلك القوة لترد عليه بصفاقة ولامبالاة؟ ألم تكن تدرك عواقب تصرفها المتسرع؟ هل همها الدفاع عن دينها أكثر مما اهتمت بقوتها وقوت عائلتها؟ أمر محير.. أمر محير بالفعل.”
― خولة حمدي, في قلبي أنثى عبرية

“But every day we meet someone whose behavior suddenly changes from one moment to the next. And we wonder: what happened to this person I thought I knew? Why is he acting so aggressively? Is it stress at work?
And then the next day the person is normal again. You're relieved, but soon after the rug is pulled out from under you when you least expect it. And this time, instead of asking what's wrong with this person, you wonder what you did wrong.”
― Paulo Coelho, Adultery
