el hogar es el lenguaje con el que creciste, el mismo que habla tu gente y oculta los libros que lees. El lenguaje te arropa, te abraza, te hace sentir parte de algo importante, de un mundo conocido en el que sabes desenvolverte.
“I feel that God made my body perfect the way I was born. Then man robbed me, took away my power, and left me a cripple. My womanhood was stolen. If God had wanted those body parts missing, why did he create them?
I just pray that one day no woman will have to experience this pain. It will become a thing of the past. People will say "Did you hear, female genital mutilation has been outlawed in Somalia?" Then the next country, and the next, and so on, until the world is safe for all women. What a happy day that will be, and that's what I'm working toward. In'shallah, if God is willing, it will happen. ”

“Es como en un ascensor, tú estás en el ascensor hablando con la gente, y no sientes nada raro, y entre tanto pasa el primer piso, el décimo, el veintiuno, y la ciudad se queda ahí abajo, y tú estás terminando la frase que habías empezado al entrar, y entre las primeras palabras y las ultimas hay cincuenta y dos pisos. Yo me di cuenta cuando empecé a tocar que entraba en un ascensor, pero era un ascensor de tiempo, si te lo puedo decir así. No creas que me olvidaba de la hipoteca o de la religión. Solamente que en esos momentos la hipoteca y la religión eran como el traje que uno no tiene puesto; yo sé que el traje está en el ropero, pero a mí no vas a decirme que en este momento ese traje existe.”
