“I can never be important to anyone.'
'What is to prevent you?'
'Everything -- my situation -- my foolishness and awkwardness."
'As to your foolishness and awkwardness, my dear Fanny, you never have a shadow of either, but in using the words so improperly. There is no reason in the world why you should not be important where you are known. You have good sense, and a sweet temper, and I am sure you have a grateful heart, that could never receive kindness without wishing to return it. I do not know any better qualifications for a friend and companion.”

Islam does not allow swimming in the sea and is opposed to radio and television serials. Islam, however, allows marksmanship, horseback riding and competition.”
