“قد يكون من الأكثر رشداً وعقلانية ألا نطالب بـ"تحرير المرأة" وألا نحاول أن نقذف بها هي الأخرى في عالم السوق و الحركية الاستهلاكية, وأن نطالب بدلاً من ذلك بتقييد الرجل أو وضع قليل من الحدود عليه وعلى حركيته بحيث نبطئ من حركته فينسلخ قليلاً عن عالم السوق والاستهلاك وبذلك يتناسب إيقاعه مع إيقاع المرأة و الأسرة و حدود إنسانيتنا المشتركة
انطلاقاً من هذه الرؤية لا بد أن يعاد تعليم الرجل بحيث يكتسب بعض خبرات الأبوة و العيش داخل الأسرة و الجماعة”
― عبدالوهاب المسيري, قضية المرأة: بين التحرير والتمركز حول الأنثى

“My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over,
all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
It's never over,
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...”

“I have not always chosen the safest path. I've made my mistakes, plenty of them. I sometimes jump too soon and fail to appreciate the consequences. But I've learned something important along the way: I've learned to heed the call of my heart. I've learned that the safest path is not always the best path and I've learned that the voice of fear is not always to be trusted.”
― Steve Goodier
