• La obediencia servil a los clérigos, que saben cómo exprimir hasta la última gota de ventaja de la religión, está matando a nuestras chicas. Debemos hablar, blasfemar si es necesario, ser acusadas de apóstatas si es necesario. A los musulmanes se les enseña que el Islam puso fin a la práctica árabe de enterrar vivas a las niñas recién nacidas porque las consideraban inútiles y una carga, pero mientras permanezcamos callados ante la abominación del matrimonio infantil, estaremos enterrando vivas a nuestras niñas.

• My own feminist revolution evolved slowly, and traveled the world with me. To this day I have no idea what dissident professor or librarian placed feminist tests on the bookshelves at the university library in Jeddah, but I found them there. They filled me with terror. I understood they were pulling at a thread that would unravel everything. Now that I am older, I can see that feeling terrified is how you recognize what you need. Terror encourages you to jump, even when you don't know if you will ever land.
