" "The regime had understood that one person leaving her house while asking herself:
Are my trousers long enough?
Is my veil in place?
Can my make-up be seen?
Are they going to whip me?
No longer asks herself:
Where is my freedom of thought?
Where is my freedom of speech?
My life, is it liveable?
What's going on in the political prisons?

Additional quotes by Marjane Satrapi
J'ai lu le Deuxième Sexe. Simone expliquait que si les femmes faisaient pipi debout, leur conception de la vie changerait.
Alors j'ai essayé. Ça coulait légèrement sur ma jambe gauche. C'était un peu dégoutant.
Assise, c'était bien plus simple. De pus, en tant qu'iranienne, avant d'uriner comme un homme, il fallait que j'apprenne à devenir une femme libérée et émancipée.
Despite the doctor’s orders, I bought myself several cartons of cigarettes (…) I think that I preferred to put myself in serious danger rather than confront my shame. My shame at not having become someone, the shame of not having made my parents proud after all the sacrifices they had made for me. The shame of having become a mediocre nihilist.
