Quote by M. Alexandra Nesci

“Take from a person the ability to speak in their own defense, and you erase them. They cease to exist. To strip someone of voice, will, pride; to erase every trace that might one day testify — they lived on this earth — is the most atrocious crime one living being can inflict on another.”

“When The Woman is King (Sonnet) When the woman is king, no mother goes without leave, no dreamer goes without choice, no queer goes without dignity. In a world run by women, no gender is second gender - in a world run by the indigenous, no ethnicity is the second race. Before the human race becomes equal, first the dehumanized must reign supreme - when the woman is king, that's the last time the world will ever need a king. When the woman is king, not queen, not princess, but the absolute monarch of the kingdom of apes, that's the beginning of actual human evolution.”

“Secara singkat, aku selalu memperkenalkan diri sebagai pengarang atau novelis. Tanpa tambahan "pengarang wanita" atau "pengarang sastra" maupun mengatakan bahwa aku adalah seorang "sastrawan atau sastrawati". Aku tidak berpretensi sebagai "seorang sastrawati". Orang-orang lain, termasuk para cendekiawanlah yang mengenalkan sebutan itu terhadap diriku.”

“I think about Bri getting harassed by the guy at the grocery store, girls getting catcalled by guys driving by when they're just trying to walk down the street, guys thinking they have a right to a girl's body because they take her out to dinner; about people who are hurt and feel like they can't talk about it, because, somehow, it's their fault when it's not. It's not our fault.”

“o [Muhammad Abdu] was probably the first to make the argument, still made by Muslim feminists today, that it was Islam and not, as Europeans claimed, the West that first recognized the full and equal humanity of women. Abdu argued that the Quranic verse on the equal rewards of labor showed that “men and women are equal before God in the matter of reward, when they are equal in their works… There is therefore no difference between them in regard to humanity, and no superiority of one over the other in works.”

“When, therefore, we maintain that pleasure is the end, we do not mean the pleasures of profligates and those that consist in sensuality, as is supposed by some who are either ignorant or disagree with us or do not understand, but freedom from pain in the body and from trouble in the mind. For it is not continuous drinkings and revelings, nor the satisfaction of lusts, nor the enjoyment of fish and other luxuries of the wealthy table, which produce a pleasant life, but sober reasoning, searching out the motives for all choice and avoidance, and banishing mere opinions, to which are due the greatest disturbance of the spirit.”
