hands iran information
The information I have about Iran is second hand.
blood long revolution
Revolutions just spread blood. Evolution - this is something that changes in the long term.
mean men feminist
I am absolutely not a feminist, I am against stupidity, and if it comes from males or females, it doesn't change anything. If it means that women and men, they are equal, then OK, certainly I am a feminist.
civilization west hunger
Hunger eats civilization. The West is not hungry; that's why they can say they're so civilized. Civilization is the biggest bluff!

Teacher: What do you want to be when you grow up? Marji: I'll be a prophet.

I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.

Whether this tale be true or false, none can tell, for none were there to witness it themselves.

A well-trained cat doesn't exist because a cat remains a cat.
father hair law
Anyway, that's how it is! Either they obey the law, or they're expelled!! And make sure they wear their veils correctly..." - "If hair is as stimulating as you say, then you need to shave your moustache!" My father actually said that.

I don't watch many comic-book movies. But I loved 'Sin City.

I like to be sad once in a while. You need it for your equilibrium.

A cat can never be well-trained because they're too independent.
artist world problem
I'm not a politician. I don't know how to solve the problems of the world. But as an artist, I have one duty: to ask questions.
men thinking feminist
When 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.
