Nawal El Saadawi Life Quotations

Whenever I go to New York or any European country, they say: 'Nawal, why don't you get a facelift?' I tell them, 'I am proud of my wrinkles. Every wrinkle on my face tells the story of my life. Why should I hide my age?'

Life is very hard. The only people who really live are those who are harder than life itself.

I have triumphed over both life and death because I no longer desire to live, nor do I any longer fear to die.
