“The regime had understood that one person leaving her house while asking herself:
Are my trousers long enough?
Is my veil in place?

Where is my freedom of speech?
My life, is it liveable?
What's going on in the political prisons?”
― The Complete Persepolis

“A name is important. It isn't something you drop in the litter basket or on the ground. Your name is now people know you. The very mention of your name makes a picture spring to mind, whether it's a picture of clashing fists or a mighty mountain that can't be knocked down. Your name is who you are and how you're known even when you do something great or something dumb.”
