• We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: 'You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you will threaten the man.' Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices, always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now, marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support, but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same?

• I have never heard about any perfect marriage. They say perfect marriages are made in heaven. Nobody comes back from there so maybe it is true, but what kind of marriage will those perfect marriages be? There will be no tension, there will be no individuality in the man or in the woman. They will never collide, they will never fight. They will be too sweet to each other. And too much sweetness brings diabetes! Marriage is an institution that teaches a man regularity, frugality, temperance, forbearance and many other splendid virtues he would not need had he stayed single.

• There are many kinds of richness, and the man who is rich because of money is the lowest as far as the categories of richness are concerned. Let me say it in this way: the man of wealth is the poorest rich man. Looked at from the side of the poor, he is the richest poor man. Looked at from the side of a creative artist, of a dancer, of a musician, of a scientist, he is the poorest rich man. And as far as the world of ultimate awakening is concerned he cannot even be called rich.

• Music, the greatest good that mortals know,
  And all of heaven we have below.
  Music can noble hints impart,
  Engender fury, kindle love;
  40 With unsuspected eloquence can move,
  And manage all the man with secret art.
  When Orpheus strikes the trembling lyre
  The streams stand still, the stones admire;
  The listening savages advance,
  The world and lamb around him trip
  The bears in aukward measures leap,
  And tigers mingle in the dance
  The moving woods attended as he played
  And Rhodope was left without a shade.

  Cuz there aint no doubt I love this land,
