“In mythos and fairy tales, deities and other great spirits test the hearts of humans by showing up in various forms that disguise their divinity. They show up in robes, rags, silver sashes, or with muddy feet. They show up with skin dark as old wood, or in scales made of rose petal, as a frail child, as a lime-yellow old woman, as a man who cannot speak, or as an animal who can. The great powers are testing to see if humans have yet learned to recognize the greatness of soul in all its varying forms.”

“The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.”

“I like women who haven’t lived with too many men.
I don’t expect virginity but I simply prefer women
who haven’t been rubbed raw by experience.
There is a quality about women who choose
men sparingly;
it appears in their walk
in their eyes
in their laughter and in their
gentle hearts.
Women who have had too many men
seem to choose the next one
out of revenge rather than with
feeling.
When you play the field selfishly everything
works against you:
one can’t insist on love or
demand affection.
You’re finally left with whatever
you have been willing to give
which often is:
nothing.”

“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”
