“Why don't we actually fight for a woman's right even to complain about...” — Basmah bint Saud Quote

“Why don't we actually fight for a woman's right even to complain about being beaten up. That is more important than driving. If a woman is beaten, they are told to go back to their homes - their fathers, husbands, brothers - to be beaten up again and locked up in the house.”

“Today in Saudi, women are either at the mercy of their husbands or at the mercy of judges who tend to side with the husbands. The only circumstance that a woman can ask for a divorce or a 'khali' is when her husband is in total agreement with her or if she comes from a very powerful family who decide to back her up.”

“If people are going to complain about stereotyping, it's as likely to be Italian-Americans as gay people.”

“If I get a hangnail, I don't dare complain! Life is good. I wake up humming.”

“People always complain about their memories, never about their minds.”
