Marjane Satrapi quotes about
believe change countries create good instead invest kids money perhaps professors putting solve study time ways
I'm a pacifist. I believe there are ways to solve the world's problems. Instead of putting all this money to create arms, I think countries should invest in scholarships for kids to study abroad. Perhaps they could become good and knowledgeable professors in their own countries. You need time for that kind of change, though.
nice heaven house
I respect humanity. That's my religion. I can't stand these religions that are really businesses. So much money everywhere that's going to buy a really nice house in heaven - or what? I don't get it.
nice government america
I had this fantasy that in a democracy the government was the population. So I came to America and got a big slap in my face... Americans were not what I thought. I thought I was going to see bastards and I saw nice people, very friendly to me.
true-or-false tales being-true
Whether this tale be true or false, none can tell, for none were there to witness it themselves.
nice people redemption
Life is complex. You don't have any person who is nice from the beginning until the end. You don't always have the notion of redemption. The bad people don't always pay.
directors making-changes ifs
As a director, you have to understand what is happening - if I don't understand it, you can't make changes.
nice perfect-guy thank-god
You cannot be completely nice. It's impossible. Who is it? Who is the perfect guy? Show him to me! It doesn't exist. And thank god.
