Lelaki ini bukanlah orang yang akan membuatku menangis bahagia bila dia menikahiku nanti. Dia orang yang sangat lembut. Orang biasa. Pernikahanku dengannya hanyalah gemerlap gaun pengantin yang mewah dan pesta perkawinan yang megah. Tak akan ada bahagia dan duka. Semua biasa-biasa saja.
- The Girl of Riyadh, Ch. 50.

As for love, it still might always struggle to come out into the light of day in Saudi Arabia. You can sense that in the sighs of bored men sitting alone at cafés, in the shining eyes of veiled women walking down the streets, in the phone lines that spring to life after midnight, and in the heartbroken songs and poems, too numerous to count, written by the victims of love unsanctioned by family, by tradition, by the city: Riyadh.

Kita memerlakukan hak istri seperti kuda pacuan; dipukul agar berlari kencang. Tanpa perasaan. Tanpa cinta dan kerinduan. Tanpa kasih sayang. Kita memerlakukannya sebagai alat. Untuk bekerja dan dipekerjakan. Kemudian kita terlelap meninggalkan mereka di tengah api, di tengah tanah berlumpur. Mereka terbunuh tanpa luka. Dan kita campakkan di tengah perjalanan.
- The Girls of Riyadh, Ch. 04, p. 35.
