Quote by John Scalzi

“I'll say it: I want to see an ugly woman as a spokeswoman for a women's network. Ugly men are out there all the time – look at Larry King, for God's sake. He looks like someone's talking underwear. Why not give America a spokeswoman who ain't much to look at but is competent as Hell? If accomplishments actually count for women, this ought to be a no-brainer.”

“إني أهيب بالمسلمين أن يراجعوا كتابهم وسنة نبيهم في تعرف أحكام الأسرة وأشرف الأساليب لبقاء البيت المسلم يؤدي رسالته والإجتماعية وأن يدرسوا ما يقع في أرجاء العالم من هذا القبيل فليس من المعقول أن تمنع المرأة عندنا من ركوب سيارة على حين يعطيها العالم حق إقتياد أمة والسهر على مصالحها”

“In the end, he had to admit, he didn't really understand her. He didn't understand women. He didn't understand men. He didn't even understand children very well. All he really understood, he thought, was himself and the rest of the universe. Neither anything like completely, of course, but both well enough to know that what remained to be discovered would make sense; it would fit in, it could all be gradually and patiently fitted together a bit at a time, like an infinite jigsaw puzzle, with no straight edges to look for and no end in sight, but one in which there was always going to be somewhere for absolutely any piece to fit.”

“Bir biz varız güzel öbürleri hep çirkin Birde bu terli karanlık Sonra bir şey daha var muhakkak ama adını bilmiyorum Nereden başlasam sonunda o ışıkla karşılaşıyorum Yarı çıplak utanmaz bir kadın resmini aydınlatıyor Akşam oluyor ya bir türlü inanamıyorum Oturmuş iri yapılı adamlar esrar çekiyorlar Daha bir aydınlık olsun diye içtikleri su Sarı toprakdan testileri güneşte pişiriyorlar Bir korkuyorum yanlız kalmaktan bir korkuyorum Gündüzleri delice çalışıyorum geceleri kadınlarla yatıyorum Sonra birden büyümüş görüyorum ağaçları Kısrakları birden yavrulamış Havaları birden güneşli Kadınlarla yattığım yetse ya Birde kadınlarla yattığıma inanmam gerekiyor Hoşlanmıyorum”

“The younger man stepped away from the table and came toward me, his whole posture radiating menace. Every Darre woman is taught to deal with such behavior from men. It is an animal trick that they use, like dogs ruffling their fur and growling. Only rarely is there an actual threat behind it, and a woman's strength lies in discerning when the threat is real and when it is just hair and noise.”

“A clever girl is the most wonderful thing in all Creation you know: you must never forget that. People expect men to be clever. They expect girls to be stupid or at least silly, which very few girls really are, but most girls oblige them by acting like it. So you just go away and be as clever as ever you can: put their noses out of joint for them. It's the best thing you could possibly do, you and all the clever girls in this city and the world.”
