Women are half the society. You cannot have a revolution without women. You cannot have democracy without women. You cannot have equality without women. You can't have anything without women.

Everybody has to die, Firdaus. I will die, and you will die. The important thing is how to live until you die.

If you do not love yourself, well, you cannot do anything well, that's my philosophy.

She is free to do what she wants, and free not to do it.

There is not a revolution that succe Women are suffering because they are being excluded. The high military council excluded women from the committee to change the constitution.

Yet not for a single moment did I have any doubts about my own integrity and honour as a woman. I knew that my profession had been invented by men, and that men were in control of both our worlds, the one on earth, and the one in heaven. That men force women to sell their bodies at a price, and that the lowest paid body is that of a wife. All women are prostitutes of one kind or another.

Man ... put himself in a tight corner when he decided that woman was innately passive.
