Kimmerle Cohen Quotes & Sayings

It remains to be asked why today it is the image of the woman of the "Golden Age" [the Abbasid dynasty] - a "slave" who intrigues in the corridors of power when she loses hope of seducing - who symbolizes the Muslim eternal female, while the memory of Umm Salama, A'isha, and Sukayna awakens no response and seems strangely distant and unreal.

I would not presume to be as experienced as some of my senior and more esteemed colleagues. But there is something to be said for the impartiality of youth.
