“It's awful. Every day I see buses full of kids arriving. They come from the poor areas, you can tell... first they convince them that the afterlife is even better than Disneyland, then they put them in a trance with all their songs... it's nuts! They hypnotize them and just toss them into battle. Absolute carnage. The key to paradise was for poor people. Thousands of young kids, promised a better life, exploded on the minefield with their keys around their necks.”
― Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis

“The best way to make a line appear shorter without touching it is to draw a longer line next to it. It works with grief, too.”
― Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

“Every day that passed, the young woman thought more and understood less”
― Sergio Cobo, A Story of Yesterday

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.”
― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society
