“الإنسان المقهور في العالم المتخلف بدل أن يثور ضد مصدر عاره الحقيقي , يثور ضد من يمثل عاره الوهمي وهو المرأة المستضعفة , هذا بينما تحتفظ الفئة المستغلة لنفسها بلقب الشرف والنبل من خلال ما تمتع به من امتيازات.”
― مصطفى حجازي, التخلف الاجتماعي: مدخل إلى سيكولوجية الإنسان المقهور

“And Lot's wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

“You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already around your neck!”
