| eeae62e | I know from my short time in the kingdom that all Saudis worry over Saudi opinion. All Saudis I have met act more relaxed around Westerners. | Jean Sasson | ||
| 00657e2 | I believe that the children of this generation have decayed with the ease of their lives, and that their great fortune has deprived them of any ambitions or real satisfactions. Surely the weakness of our monarchy in Saudi Arabia is bound up in our addiction to extravagance. I fear it will be our undoing. | Jean Sasson | ||
| 48d1d6f | From my personal experiences, it is evident that so many wealthy females within the kingdom are devoted to little else but frivolity, with their thoughts focused mainly on their looks and their luxurious possessions. | Jean Sasson | ||

| 59703de | I was born free, yet today I am in chains. Invisible, they were loosely draped and passed unnoticed until the age of understanding reduced my life to a narrow segment of fear. - Sultana | Jean Sasson | ||

| 5abed39 | suddenly remembered a beautiful verse by the great Lebanese philosopher Kahlil Gibran: "Mayhap a funeral among men is a wedding feast among the angels." I imagined my mother at the side of her mother and father, with her own little ones gathered in her arms." | Jean Sasson | ||
| 349f9f0 | Riyadh was the base of the government, but none of the Al Sa'ud family particularly enjoyed the city; their complaints never ended about the dreariness of life in Riyadh. It was too hot and dry, the men of religion took themselves too seriously, the nights were too cold. Most of the family preferred Jeddah or Taif. | Jean Sasson | ||
| 487190e | In my land, in the event of a divorce, the mother has the right to retain her children if they are still suckling. But in most cases, a mother maintains custody of daughters until a girl child reaches puberty. In the case of male children, the boy should be allowed to remain with his mother until he is seven. When he reaches his seventh birthday, he is supposed to have the option to choose between his mother or father. Generally it is accep.. | girl-child inequality islamic marriage marriage-laws muslim quran relationships saudi-arabia | Jean Sasson | |

| 32a1999 | Mahkumluk seruvenimn son gecesinn siniriyle hamagimda donup duruyorm. Yerimden kalkiyor,son aylarda cok iyi baktigm bahcemde geziniyorum.Ay isigi ortaligi gun gibi aydinlatiyor. Nehrin suyu, gurultu etmeden denize dogru akiyor. Kus sesi duyulmuyor, hepsi uykuda. Gokyuzu yildizlarla kapli, ama ay oylesine parlak ki yildizlari gorebilmek icin ona sirt cevirmek gerek. Tam karsimda sik orman, tek aciklik..El Dorado koyunun yapildigi yer. Dogani.. | Henri Charrière | ||

| 3d87672 | Edna peperuda vletia -- bledosinia s t'nka cherna lenta, a niak'de blizo do neia zad prozoretsa zazhuzha pchela. Kakvo li pravekha tezi zhivinki tuk? Dali gi beshe ob'rkalo zimnoto sl'ntse, ili t'rsekha da se skriiat v zatvora ot stud? Peperudata zime e sluchaino v'zkr'snalo s'shchestvo. Kak li se e spasila ot sm'rtta?

| a487f59 | I've known this a long time, because when Napoleon III created the bagnes and was asked: "But who will guard these bandits?" he answered: "Worse bandits." Later on, I was able to confirm the fact that the founding father of the bagnes had not been lying." -- | Henri Charrière | ||

Their task has shifted, from Direct Traverse upon the Line to Pen-and-Paper Representation of it, in the sober Day-Light of Philadelphia, strain'd thro' twelve-by-twelve Sash-work, as in the spectreless Light of the Candles in their Rooms, suffering but the fretful Shadows of Dix.. | Thomas Pynchon | ||
| c9bfee6 | if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone." He" | Mitch Albom | ||

| b013f7c | But it's hard to explain, Mitch. Now that I'm suffering, I feel closer to people who suffer than I ever did before.. ..I feel their anguish as if it were my own. I don't know any of these people. But - how can I put this? - I'm almost... drawn to them. | close drawn people same similar suffer | Mitch Albom | |

| 1c60b32 | I am not bothered by the silence. For all the noise I make with my friends, I am still not comfortable talking about my feelings in front of others - especially not classmates. | classmates feelings friends noise others silence talk uncomfortable | Mitch Albom | |
| 29af635 | My friends, if we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere, our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of 'I could have, I should have.' We can sleep in a storm. "And when it's time, our good-byes will be complete." | Mitch Albom | ||
| 2b91612 | I give myself a good cry if I need it, but then I concentrate on all good things still in my life. On the people who are coming to see me. On the stories that I'm going to hear. On you, if it's Tuesday. Because we're Tuesday people. | Mitch Albom | ||

| 47fdb41 | Guardar a raiva e envenenar-se. Ela nos consome por dentro. A gente costuma pensar que o odio e uma arma contra a pessoa que nos fez mal. Mas a lamina do odio e curva. E o mal que fazemos com ele, nos fazemos a nos mesmos. | Mitch Albom | ||

| b9d3c07 | We've got a form of brainwashing going on in our country," Morrie sighed. "Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that's what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. More is good. More is good. We repeat it--and have it repeated to us--over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogge.. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 39a25a1 | It's natural to die," he said again. "The fact that we make such a big hullabaloo over it is all because we don't see ourselves as part of nature. We think because we're human we're something above nature." He smiled at the plant. "We're not. Everything that gets born, dies." | mother-nature | Mitch Albom | |
