01UndatedWe can only feel sorry for ourselves when our misfortunes are still supportable. Once this limit is crossed, the only way to bear the unbearable is to laugh at it.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
02UndatedIs religion defending our physical integrity or is it just opposed to fashion?Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
03UndatedWriting is not for me. I completely lose my sense of humor when I write. I become extremely pathetic, very sensational. Images give me possibilities that I don't have with words.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
04UndatedThe real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
05UndatedIf it's a good work of adaptation, the book should remain a book and the film should remain a film, and you should not necessarily read the book to see the film. If you do need that, then that means that it's a failure. That is what I think.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
06UndatedWhen you make a book or you make a movie, it is almost like hitting on somebody. It's not because you want to seduce people that you will seduce them; you can hit on somebody and it doesn't work. But when you hit on them and it works, then it's really cool.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
07UndatedI am very bad at computers. I don't really know how to write email.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
08UndatedWhen you say 'revolution' when you have only men outside, you know that something is going wrong. I'm not like a hardcore feminist, but I think that one of the things that makes the society advanced is equality between men and women. If half of the society is oppressed by the other half, it's not fine.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
09UndatedIf people are given the chance to experience life in more than one country, they will hate a little less. It's not a miracle potion, but little by little you can solve problems in the basement of a country, not on the surface.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
10UndatedAll this misjudgment that we have of each other is based on ignorance. The second you get to travel, you see that human beings, no matter where they come from, they are the same.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
11UndatedIt's not like since I make comics I only read comics and since I make movies I will only go out and watch movies. Any kind of artistic expression interests me; it goes from literature to music to sculpture, painting; whatever is extremely inspiring for me becomes a reference also for me.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
13UndatedI like to be sad once in a while. You need it for your equilibrium.Marjane Satrapi / quote ↗
14UndatedAnything 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 / quote ↗
