In all communities you find groups that behave badly. But you must understand them too.

Nowadays you can no longer let yourself be indoctrinated - the world is changing so fast! Even what you wanted twenty years ago is no longer relevant today; it's outdated.

[My mother] was the oldest of two sisters and two brothers, and she grew up with her brothers, who were about her age. She grew up, to the age of ten, like a wild colt, and then all of a sudden that was over. They had forced on her her 'woman's destiny' by saying, 'This isn't done, this isn't good, this isn't worthy of a lady.'

I grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.

Just when you think you've achieved something, you realize you've achieved nothing. And still you have to go forward just the same - toward a dream so distant that your road has neither beginning nor end.

Women sometimes go too far, it's true. But it's only when you go too far that others listen.

It depends on what you mean by the word religion. Certainly I don't go to temples and pray to the gods or anything like that.
