Quote #10
"I'm not coming to any more parties. It's too frightening." (35.82)
This quote, said by one of Marjane's friends after the police kill another friend at a party, is the equivalent of "letting the terrorists win." What makes this more scary is that, in Iran, the threat isn't always from outside. It's fear of your own police force that keeps people cowering in fear at home. Kind of like stop-and-frisk in New York City.
