Quote by Rumi

“I choose to love you in silence… For in silence I find no rejection, I choose to love you in loneliness… For in loneliness no one owns you but me, I choose to adore you from a distance… For distance will shield me from pain, I choose to kiss you in the wind… For the wind is gentler than my lips, I choose to hold you in my dreams… For in my dreams, you have no end.”

“Like all the girls back then I knew that being too clever was much worse than being too tall. Being five foot three, tongue-tied and blonde I mostly passed muster, except that I was so unskilled in small talk that I sometimes blurted big words (hypocrisy, or pretentiousness), which jumped out of my mouth like the toads of the fairy tale before I knew it. In any case, you could cultivate the wrong sort of silence - the sort that implied brooding self-absorption rather than attentiveness.”

“Les filles sont conditionnées pour aspirer au mariage, mais pas les garçons, ce qui entraîne dès le départ un déséquilibre. Les filles deviennent des femmes qui sont obnubilées par le mariage, les garçons deviennent des hommes qui ne sont pas obnubilés par le mariage. Les femmes épousent ces hommes. La relation est automatiquement inégale, parce que l’institution compte plus aux yeux de l’une que de l’autre.”
