Celestial light, you are my choice, my last and my best choice. - Marjane Satrapi

...En su casa encontraron discos, cintas de vídeo, un juego de cartas, un ajedrez, en fin, todo lo que estaba prohibido...

Preferiría que estuviera vivo y encarcelado que muerto como un héroe

"The Shah stayed on the throne until 1979, when he fled Iran to escape the Islamic revolution.
Since then, this old and great civilization has been discussed mostly in connection with fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism. As an Iranian who has lived more than half of my life in Iran, I know that this image is far from the truth. This is why writing "Persepolis" was so important to me. I believe that an entire nation should not be judged by the wrongdoings of a few extremists. I also don't want those Iranians who lost their lives in prisons defending freedom, who died in the war against Iraq, who suffered under various repressive regimes, or who were forced to leave their families and flee their homeland to be forgotten.
One can forgive but one should never forget."
