“My Master...
Say all you wish of me.
It does not matter to me:Shallow.. Stupid.. Crazy.. Simple minded.
It does not concern me anymore.
For whoever writes about her concerns.
in the logic of Men is called
a stupid woman.
and didn't I tell you in the beginning
that I am a stupid woman?”

“Our shouting is louder than our actions,
Our swords are taller than us,
This is our tragedy.
In short
We wear the cape of civilisation
But our souls live in the stone age”
― Nizar Qabbani

“Arab children,
Corn ears of the future,
You will break our chains,
Kill the opium in our heads,
Kill the illusions.
Arab children,
Don't read about our suffocated generation,
We are a hopeless case.
We are as worthless as a water-melon rind.
Dont read about us,
Dont ape us,
Dont accept us,
Dont accept our ideas,
We are a nation of crooks and jugglers.
Arab children,
Spring rain,
Corn ears of the future,
You are the generation
That will overcome defeat. ”
― Nizar Qabbani

“never believe a man can change a woman
those men are pretenders
who think
that they created women
from one of their ribs”
