The only quote I found about anthropology...

Because he did not have time to read every new book in his field, the great Polish anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski used a simple and efficient method of deciding which ones were worth his attention: Upon receiving a new book, he immediately checked the index to see if his name was cited, and how often. The more "Malinowski" the more compelling the book. No "Malinowski," and he doubted the subject of the book was anthropology at all.

Voile, hidjab, tchador, burka et autres colifichets... eh oui les mecs, c'est la journée de la femme!

Quelques visages épanouis (quand on arrive à les voir...)

Put your veil on!

It will be a long, long, long way to freedom...

Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
