Jasmine is full of life

"A Woman's Growth Experience and a Nation's Painful History".
War, death, fear, depression, loneliness... But it is difficult to cover up the inner desire for freedom and love.

"You're going to have a lot of madness in your life. If they pity you, you straighten your spine and hit them back. That's the best way you can deal with them. There's nothing scarier than weakness. You have to respect yourself, Be what it says..."

Love shines like a spinning disco ball in a ballroom (this montage of transitions ----- wonderful!).
The funny thing is, the man shouted "I love you" when he was caught in bed...
The deceit of love is hopeless, you will never imagine how great the hurt is! There is nothing more terrifying than living alone in a vast crowd of people who can be hungry and cold, can sleep on the street, and travel in the opposite direction through the crowd.
"I went through a revolution that made me lose some of my family. I survived a war, but it was love that killed me..."
Doctor: "From now on, I forbid you to smoke another one. Smoke."
"Dad, Mom, can I go home? But please, don't ask me any questions..."
A choice anyone has at any time!
I'm leaving you!
A new life awaits me, and freedom always comes at a price.
Remember: be true to yourself, respect yourself and love yourself!
Can you do it?

Persepolis quotes

  • Marjane as a teenager: Promise you won't ask me any questions.

  • Marjane's grandmother: [watering flowers] Ha. Serves them right. Why you practically snipped off their little thingies. Will you please take off that god-awful veil? It makes me claustrophobic.

    Marjane as a teenager: [takes off her veil] I'm so used to it, I forget I'm wearing it.
