Don't be afraid of books, even the most dissident, seemingly 'immoral' ones. Culture is a sure bet in life, whether high, low, eclectic, pop, ancient or modern. And I am convinced that reading is one of the most important tools of liberation that any human being, and a contemporary Arab woman in particular, can exploit. I am not saying it is the ONLY tool, especially with all the new alternative - more visual, interactive and hasty - ways of knowledge, learning and growth. But how could I not be convinced of literature's power, when it has been my original emancipator? . Joumana Haddad
About This Quote

Not all books are created equal. By that I mean that some books are better than others. A book should be able to break you free from the shackles of your life. The book should have an impact on your life, showing you something new and exciting. It might seem like a frivolous choice to choose a book over reading an article or watching a movie, but books can be a real awakening for the mind and soul.
