Marjane Satrapi
“It's fear that makes us lose our conscience. It's also what transforms us into cowards.”
Marjane Satrapi, The Complete Persepolis

Marjane Satrapi
“In life you'll meet a lot of jerks. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it's because they're stupid. That will help keep you from reacting to their cruelty. Because there is nothing worse than bitterness and vengeance... Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.”
Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

Marjane Satrapi
“You are putting yourself in serious danger...'

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.”
Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return

Marjane Satrapi
“One can forgive but one should never forget.”
Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

Gloria Steinem
“so whatever you want to do, just do it...Making a damn fool of yourself is absolutely essential.”
Gloria Steinem
