Persepolis - some comments from

Granny to MJ: "You'll meet a lot of jerks in your life. Do not hurt them. It's because of their stupidity. There is nothing worse than resentment and revenge."
Granny: "Fear lulls our minds to sleep."
Granny: "You're crying because you were wrong; it's hard to admit your mistakes, eh?"
Voice over from the repressive society: "To die a martyr is to inject blood into the veins of our society." - think of Durkheim and his view of suicide on this one.
Granny: "Tout la monde a toujour la choice." (all the world has always choice.)
