More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
If you know a little bit the psychology of human beings, you have to understand that if you say something you should not do, then everybody wants to do it.
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 don't think of myself as a rebel I just say what I think.
Marjane Satrapi
Fear has always been the driving force behind all dictators' repression.
Marjane Satrapi
Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.
Marjane Satrapi
A cat can never be well-trained because they're too independent.
Marjane Satrapi
I almost don't know how to write an email.
Marjane Satrapi
It is dangerous when you start calling people from one part of the world terrorists or fanatic, and you reduce them to some abstract notion. If evil has a geographical place, and if the evil has a name, that is the beginning of fascism. Real life is not this way. You have fanatics and narrow-minded people everywhere.
Marjane Satrapi
If you have a little sensibility or a heart, you have all the reason to be depressed once in a while. But the depression is like a motor for creation. I need a little bit of depression, a bit of acid in my stomach, to be able to create. When I'm happy, I just want to dance.
Marjane Satrapi
Hunger eats civilization. The West is not hungry that's why they can say they're so civilized. Civilization is the biggest bluff!
Marjane Satrapi
The novels have done so well because the drawings are abstract, black-and-white. This adds to the universality of the story. Persepolis also has dreamlike moments, and the drawings help maintain cohesion and consistency.
Marjane Satrapi
Adaptation of books is never a success. When the author wants to make it, it's even worse.
Marjane Satrapi
Today, we don't talk about history. The past is two weeks ago, and the future is two weeks after.
Marjane Satrapi
I am very bad at computers. I don't really know how to write email.
Marjane Satrapi
The information I have about Iran is second hand.
Marjane Satrapi
One can forgive but one should never forget.
Marjane Satrapi
I was a westerner in Iran, an Iranian in the West. I had no identity. I didn't even know anymore why I was living.
Marjane Satrapi
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.
Marjane Satrapi
Culture and education are the lethal weapons against all kinds of fundamentalism.
Marjane Satrapi
I loved Chiara Mastroianni voice, her talent, her generosity. We rehearsed for two months...She's a workaholic and perfectionist, like Vincent [Paronnaud] and myself.
