“This is beauty, love, and truth, all rolled into one. This is joy. And now that I've found it, how can I give up? Life and work are the most wonderful things a man can have.”
― Flowers for Algernon

“You used to sing a song, a haunting melody – always the same melody – but the words would always change. They’d be about anything and everything and nothing at all, just whatever was going on in your heart and your mind at the time. Do you remember that song?”
― The Threat Below

“I lost the plot for a while then. And I lost the subplot, the script, the soundtrack, the intermission, my popcorn, the credits, and the exit sign.”

“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?”
― The Complete Persepolis

“When you dance with the Africans, unless it is a ritual dance like a wedding or harvest or rain dance, there’s no right or wrong way to dance. There’s only movement. And the more you express your feelings as you move, the better you feel when you’re done…When I dance the African Way, I show my feelings with my body instead of hiding them in my heart. When I dance, I know I’m alive here and now. My body and soul are in harmony.”
