I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn, to open up, to work, help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It's not Islam.

Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives, and remembering what one receives.

Dumas The Younger

Faint heart never won true friend. O my friend, may it come to pass, once, that when you are my friend I may be yours.

Henry David Thoreau

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.

Mahatma Gandhi

It would be futile to attempt to fit women into a masculine pattern of attitudes, skills and abilities and disastrous to force them to suppress their specifically female characteristics and abilities by keeping up the pretense that there are no differences between the sexes.

Write on your doors the saying wise and old. Be bold! and everywhere -- Be bold; Be not too bold! Yet better the excess Than the defect; better the more than less sustaineth him and the steadiness of his mind beareth him out.

Edward Thorndike

Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world but people capable of giving them their attention.

Simone Weil

A good man can be stupid and still be good. But a bad man must have brains.

Maxim Gorky

I save every Christmas card. I keep them all.

Alison Sweeney

Tear man out of his outward circumstances; and what he then is; that only is he.

Johann G. Seume

I guessed life was like that. You gained and you lost, and if you saved anything from the ruins, even if only a shred of self-respect, it was enough to take you through the next bit.

Dick Francis

I am not obsessive about anything except my health.

Linda Gray
