#Marjane Satrapi

I think the one thing we should learn from rednote is the value of person-to-person connection. The american government censors tiktok out of sinophobia, the chinese government censors lgbt content out of homophobia, and the one thing I can think of is let's all bond over how shitty governments are.

Time to quote Persepolis again.

“I realized then that I didn’t understand anything. I read all the books I could.” —The Complete Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi

A chronicle of the Iranian Revolution, a feminist manifesto, and a coming-of-age story in one, Persepolis has simultaneously become a classroom staple and a hot-button banned book, both lauded and challenged for its unflinching look at Iran’s history and the universal trials of growing up.

“[...] she gave a single, long, full-throated howl, as if she wanted to rid herself at once of all the cries that pain had stored up in her.”

— Albert Camus, The First Man, trans. David Hapgood

“I jerked huffing in air to holler, but the scream got stuck, just added itself onto the large round scream that all my life had been assembling in my chest. It felt like a huge lump of cold clay. Someday I was gonna holler so long, glass would shatter and walls explode.”

— Mary Karr, Lit: A Memoir

“She’s going to scream, I thought. And it’ll be something real. Something we have to chain up in the backyard and feed with bloody steaks.”

— Tiffany McDaniel, Betty

— Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis

"A banned book is always a good book. After all, what better company to be in than Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain?"—Marjane Satrapi, in the new introduction to the anniversary edition of Persepolis

Read the classic graphic memoir that remains "urgent, necessary reading" (Kirkus Reviews) twenty years after it was originally created—the story of Marjane Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age in Tehran during the Iranian Revolution.

«En la vida encontrarás a muchos imbéciles. Si te hieren, piensa que es su estupidez la que les empuja a hacerte daño… Porque no hay nada peor en el mundo que el rencor y la venganza… Mantén siempre tu dignidad, tu integridad y la fidelidad a ti misma.» ("Persépolis")
