Quote by Ama H. Vanniarachchy

“Being a feminist is the way you think, and act accordingly. It’s about respecting women, their freedom and believing in their strengths. Feminism is celebrating womanhood. As a feminists, I do not believe in ‘equal rights’, because at some instances women are far superior to men. There are certain things that men are not capable of doing which only a woman can go through. Therefore, it is not fair to talk about ‘equal rights’. It’s the proper place or the ‘right place’ that a woman should have in the society. Feminism is about giving women the right over their lives, the right and freedom to take their own decisions. The freedom for education, choosing a career, marriage and sexuality. The freedom and right over their body. The freedom of speech, the freedom of expressing themselves.”

“What kind of life can two men have together, anyway? All this love you talk about--isn't it just that you want to be made to feel strong? You want to go out and be the big laborer and bring home the money, and you want me to stay here and wash the dishes and cook the food and clean this miserable closet of a room and kiss you when you come in through that door and lie with you at night and be your little girl. That's what you want. That's what you mean and that's all you mean when you say you love me. You say I want to kill you. What do you think you've been doing to me?”

“- Então não adivinhou -, disse, com um pouco de escárnio no seu terror. - Sou um indizível do tipo Oscar Wilde. - Os seus olhos fecharam-se, e levando os punhos cerrados até eles, ficou sentado imóvel, tendo apelado a César. Por fim, veio a sentença. Mal conseguia acreditar no que ouvia. Era «Tolices, tolices!». Estava à espera de muita coisa, mas não disto; pois se as suas palavras eram tolices, a sua vida era um sonho. --------------------------------------------------- P.181, MAURICE, E.M. FORSTER "So you've never guessed," he said, with a touch of scorn in his terror. "I'm an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort." His eyes closed, and driving clenched fists against them he sat motionless, having appealed to Caesar. At last judgement came. He could scarcely believe his ears. It was "Rubbish, rubbish!" He had expected many things, but not this; for if his words were rubbish his life was a dream.”
