Text Quotes
I am becoming more radical with age. I have noticed that writers, when they are old, become milder. But for me it is the opposite. Age makes me more angry (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
When you are intelligent and beautiful you face a lot of problems. If you are beautiful and stupid then it’s easy (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Truth is relative, and there is always something missing in truth that prevents it from being perfect (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Words should not seek to please, to hide the wounds in our bodies, or the shameful moments in our lives. They may hurt, give us pain, but they can also provoke us to question what we have accepted for thousands of years (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
All the men I did get to know, every single man of them, has filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Men impose deception on women and punish them for being deceived, force them down to the lowest level and punish them for falling so low, bind them in marriage and then chastise them with menial service for life, or insults, or blows (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
I now knew that all of us were prostitutes who sold themselves at varying prices, and that an expensive prostitute was better than a cheap one (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
I knew I hated him as only a woman can hate a man, as only a slave can hate his master (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
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 (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Memory is never complete. There are always parts of it that time has amputated. Writing is a way of retrieving them, of bringing the missing parts back to it, of making it more holistic (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
I have triumphed over both life and death because I no longer desire to live, nor do I any longer fear to die (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Life is very hard. The only people who really live are those who are harder than life itself (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Something I tried to hold onto, to touch if only for a moment, but it slipped away from me like the air, like an illusion, or a dream that floats away and is lost. I wept in my sleep as though it was something I was losing now; a loss I was experiencing for the first time, and not something I had lost a long time ago (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Solidarity between women can be a powerful force of change, and can influence future development in ways favourable not only to women but also to men (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
If you do not love yourself, well, you cannot do anything well, that’s my philosophy (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
You poor, deluded woman... do you believe there is any such thing as love?... You’re living an illusion. Do you believe the words of love they whisper in the ears of penniless women like us? (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Home to me is the world because my books have been translated into more than 30 languages (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Many people come here and they think my apartment is a poor relative to my name. But you cannot be radical and have money, it’s impossible (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Home to me is the world because my books have been translated into more than 30 languages. People feel they know me and the minute they talk about my life or books I feel at home. Home is where you are appreciated, safe and protected, creative, and where you are loved – not where you are put in prison (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Danger has been a part of my life ever since I picked up a pen and wrote. Nothing is more perilous than truth in a world that lies (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
When we live in a world that is very unjust, you have to be a dissident (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
To be creative means to connect. It’s to abolish the gap between the body, the mind and the soul, between science and art, between fiction and nonfiction (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
You know, I look to myself mainly as a creative writer all my life and a medical doctor (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Moral codes and standards in our societies very rarely apply to all people equally. This is the most damning proof of how immoral such codes and standards really are (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
The tracing of a child’s lineage and its name with reference to the father, though it has lasted for many thousands of years, has not become any the more natural or reasonable as a result (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
The trilogy composed of politics, religion and sex is the most sensitive of all issues in any society (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
Revolutionary men with principles were not really different from the rest. They used their cleverness to get, in return for principles, what other men buy with their money (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
To have arrived at the truth means that one no longer fears death. For death and truth are similar in that they both require a great courage if one wishes to face them (Nawal El Saadawi Quotes)
