Marjane Satrapi
I really didn't know what to think about the veil. Deep down I was very religious but as a family we were very modern and avant-garde. I was born with religion. At the age of six I was already sure I was the last prophet. This was few years before the revolution.
Marjane Satrapi
A Muslim fanatic and a Christian fanatic, a Jewish fanatic, a secular fanatic, an atheist fanatic, a communist fanatic - all of them are the same. The thinking that, 'If you don't think like me, that if you are not with me, then you are against me' this is something to condemn.
Marjane Satrapi
I was a child who had a life, who had hopes, and I wished that a bomb would not fall on my head.
Marjane Satrapi
It's fear that makes us lose our conscience. It's also what transforms us into cowards.
Marjane Satrapi
All big changes of the world come from words.
Marjane Satrapi
The things that I do today are the things I did as a child. When I was a child, either I was drawing or I was taking all the kids off my street and I wanted to make shows - I was all the time making! The only thing is, now I know how to do it better, and now they give me money for it.
Marjane Satrapi

Marjane Satrapi
