My divorce has changed my life. I donâ€™t cry anymore. My bad dreams are starting to go away. I feel stronger, as if all these ordeals have toughened me. When I go out in the street, sometimes women in the neighborhood call to me, congratulating me and shouting â€˜Mabrouk!â€™ â€“ a word once tainted by evil memories, but which I know like to hear again. And shouted by women I donâ€™t even know! I blush, but deep down Iâ€™m so proud.

Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
I just consider myself a piece of the puzzle and I'm lucky enough to be asked or invited to the party, if you will. I hope I can bring some laughs and grimaces to the fans.
It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him.
I have the loftiest idea, and the most passionate one, of art. Much too lofty to agree to subject it to anything. Much too passionate to want to divorce it from anything.
I had a romantic, 'Aren't I a good girl?' take on divorce, but the truth is that was stupid.
Women would be better off when they no longer needed men more than they needed their own independent identities...How long a time it took me after my divorce to understand that being alone is not the same as being lonely.
