“Farzaneh was aflame and her wailing melted everyone's hearts. Parvaneh had lost control of herself and was flapping madly around her brother, while Masoud got up off his knees beside his brother, clenched his fists, like two balls of fire, to his head and screamed: ``I'll kill them, I'll kill the bastards who killed my brothers...''. His rallying cry was taken up by the crowd, and from that point on Mohammad-Taqi's corpse was no longer ours - it has become public property.”
― Mahmoud Dowlatabadi, The Colonel
