Rumi, from “Talking in the Night,” The Essential Rumi, transl. by Coleman Barks New Expanded Edition (HarperOne, 2004)

“You know, there’s nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It’s kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen.”
