“La historia es una increíble cantidad de manotazos por todos lados, algunos agarran la manija y otros se quedan con los dedos en el aire, pero cuando sumás el todo por ahí te da la revolución francesa o el Moncada.”

“La historia es una criatura extraña. Tiene la habilidad abismal de cegarnos con nuestro propio reflejo cuando la atisbamos en la profundidad de sus aguas misteriosas. Muchos de nosotros nos ahogamos en ellas justo como Narciso, cuya vanidad ante su propia belleza fue más fuerte que su instinto de supervivencia.”

“Female genital mutilation predates Islam. Not all Muslims do this, and a few of the peoples who do are not Islamic.

“As a pregnant urologist,… I was often asked by hospital workers and physicians if I was going to circumcise the baby. I always answered a simple “no” immediately, without adding the unnecessary caveat that I already knew I was carrying a girl. Knowing that in some parts of the world circumcising girls (female genital mutilation) is as common a practice as circumcising boys, I wanted to use this to spark rethinking every chance I had. When the questioner would find out I knew I was having a girl and tried to use that to explain my choice to not circumcise, I told them, “I wouldn’t circumcise if the child were a boy, either.”
