Marjane Satrapi Quote
The regime had understood that one person leaving her house while asking herself:Are my trousers long enough? Is my veil in place? Can my make-up be seen? Are they going to whip me?- No longer asks herself:Where is my freedom of thought? Where is my freedom of speech? My life, is it livable? What's going on in the political prisons?It's only natural! When we're afraid, we lose all sense of analysis and reflection. Our fear paralyzes us. Besides, fear has always been the driving force behind all dictators' repression.Showing your hair or putting on makeup logically became acts of rebellion.
