“I have chosen not to have children.” — Mona Eltahawy Quote

“I have chosen not to have children.”

“We left Egypt when I was seven, and we didn't return until I was 21. My teen years were divided between the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. Up until we left the U.K., it was like your regular teenage years. The one thing I remember is that I couldn't date. That was one thing my parents made very clear.”

“For years I looked at the Iranians with envy - not at the outcome of their 1979 revolution, but because it was a popular uprising, not a euphemism for a coup.”

“By the age of 13, I knew I wanted to be a comedian like Morecambe and Wise. So, obviously, I thought I'd better start practising my interviews for Parkinson. Don't look shocked - I wasn't the only teenager to imagine that. Though I may have been the only one to have chosen T'Pau as my walk-on music.”

“I'd like to explode a few myths about what we call classical music. It's not high art for the titillation of a chosen few.”

“I am proud that generations of Jewish Americans have chosen to make this state their home; Georgia has been better for it.”
