More From Nawal El Saadawi

We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.
Loss People Justice
I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. i aim with my eye. i do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. i shoot with my mind. i do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. i kill with my heart.
Father Heart Eye
Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
A prayer refuse to fall down if you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down. if you cannot refuse to stay down, lift your heart toward heaven, and like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled. you may be pushed down. you may be kept from rising. but no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven only you. it is in the middle of misery that so much becomes clear. the one who says nothing good came of this, is not yet listening.
Prayer Fall Heart
The work of democratic government is routinely concerned with matters defined as troubles. in "the presidency and the press" i make the point, familiar to anyone who has flown about the world much, that the best quick test of the political nature of a regime is to read the local papers on arrival. if they are filled with bad news, you have landed in a libertarian society of some sort. if, on the other hand, the press is filled with good news, it is a fair bet that the jails will be filled with good men.
Men Hands Jail
His whole body shakes with the strain as he tries to lift something he knows he can't lift, something everybody knows he can't lift. but, for just a second, when we hear the cement grind at our feet, we think, by golly, he might do it.

Similar Quotes
Each feminist work has tended to be received as if it emerged from nowhere; as if each one of us had lived, thought, and worked without any historical past or contextual present. this is one of the ways in which women's work and thinking has been made to seem sporadic, errant, orphaned of any tradition of its own.
Past Thinking Justice
I actually feel that personal matters, like religion and spirituality, are things that i really discuss only with intimates. i think it's, in a way, like sexuality, something where it touches upon something very private.
Thinking Matter Way
Looking back on my career, i think i've been extremely fortunate to be in the right place at the right time in order to have the influence that i did.
