„‚It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Muslim man, regardless of his fortune, must be in want of a nine-year-old virgin wife.’ So declared Yassi in that special tone of hers, deadpan and mildly ironic, which on rare occasions, and this was one of them, bordered burlesque.” (Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran – A Memoir in Books, London 2003)
