Marjane Satrapi
To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart.
Marjane Satrapi
Anything that has a relationship with pleasure we reject it. Eating, they talk about cholesterol making love, they talk about Aids you talk about smoking, they talk about cancer. It's a very sick society that rejects pleasure.
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.
