In the City of Gold and Silver: The Story of Begum Hazrat Mahal QUOTES

1 " Why do women prefer adventurers who make them suffer, rather than men who are kind and attentive? Are they seduced by the man or by the vast horizons he allows them to glimpse? Is it the man they love or the dream he represents? "

― Kenizé Mourad , In the City of Gold and Silver: The Story of Begum Hazrat Mahal

2 " Going against the customs of the Court and high society that consider it normal to make the lower classes wait indefinitely, Hazrat Mahal has never been able to accept this disregard for others, this manner of monopolising their time....this tendency to make them waste their lives, just out of indifference. She knows very well that for those who have nothing, offering their time is proof of their devotion. "

― Kenizé Mourad , In the City of Gold and Silver: The Story of Begum Hazrat Mahal

3 " The population is ignorant of intrigues and power games, therefore we believe it easy to manipulate, but it is in fact, far more perceptive than many of our great minds. "
