Yasmine Mohammed
“Western women may well be recognized as equals of men, but in many parts of the world, brave suffragettes, counterparts to Susan B. Anthony, are still fiercely fighting for their equality.
A deep disconnect exists between the feminists in the Western countries and the feminists in the Muslim-majority countries. ...
I don't have to refer to a history book to find women who are risking their lives to fight societies that view women as second-class citizens. I interact with them everyday. Yet, tragically, most prominent Western feminists are not standing alongside me and these brave freedom-fighting women.”
Yasmine Mohammed, بی‌حجاب: چگونه لیبرال‌های غرب بر آتش اسلام‌گرایی رادیکال می‌دمند

Leo Strauss
“There is a remarkable sentence of Pascal according to which we know too little to be dogmatists and too much to be skeptics, which expresses beautifully what Plato conveys through his dialogues.”
Leo Strauss, On Plato's Symposium

Neil Gaiman
“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Leo Strauss
“One cannot refute what one has not thoroughly understood.”
Leo Strauss

Michael  Greenberg
“I rehearsed Foucault's argument that the presence of madness on our doorstep is good for us, for it reminds us the life we live is only one among several human possibilities.”
Michael Greenberg, Beg, Borrow, Steal: A Writer's Life
