"Something I tried to hold onto, to touch……" — Nawal El Saadawi

"Something I tried to hold onto, to touch if only for a moment, but it slipped away from me like the air, like an illusion, or a dream that floats away and is lost. I wept in my sleep as though it was something I was losing now; a loss I was experiencing for the first time, and not something I had lost a long time ago."

— Nawal El Saadawi
