“The regime had understood that one person leaving her house while asking herself:
Are my trousers long enough?
Is my veil in place?

What's going on in the political prisons?”

“In life you'll meet a lot of jerks. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it's because they're stupid. That will help keep you from reacting to their cruelty. Because there is nothing worse than bitterness and vengeance... Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.”
