“زرعتْ حلمًا وتعهدته بالرّعاية. نما بين جنبيها حتى صار جزءًا منها، ومن قلبها. تركته يكبُر وتمتدّ جذوره فى كيانها حتى أنساها طبع الأحلام المتمرّد. نسيت أنها تضيع وتتبخر حالما تتسرّب خيوط الصّبح الأولى.نسيت أنها تذهب مع نسمات الفجر حالما يغادر النّعاس أجفانها.”
― خولة حمدي, غربة الياسمين

“I have chosen to no longer be apologetic for my femaleness and my femininity. And I want to be respected in all of my femaleness because I deserve to be.”

“Gender matters everywhere in the world. And I would like today to ask that we begin to dream about and plan for a different world. A fairer world. A world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves. And this is how to start: We must raise our daughters differently. We must also raise our sons differently.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“If we do something over and over, it becomes normal. If we see the same thing over and over, it becomes normal.”
