How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Panel)
Quote #1
Deep down I was very religious but as a family we were very modern and avant-garde. (1.19)
Are these two things totally opposite? Can you be modern and religious, or is religion naturally old fashioned? Maybe Jesus should be turning water into Moscato, instead of just plain ol' wine.
Quote #2
That night [God] didn't come. (2.43)
Why doesn't God come to Marjane the night she decides to be a revolutionary? Is it because he doesn't agree with violence? Or is he just catching up on Breaking Bad?
Quote #3
The only place I felt safe was in the arms of my friend. (7.45)
This quote is accompanied by an illustration of Marji in the arms of God. Or it could be Karl Marx, because she thinks Marx looks like God. But we're pretty sure it's God. Even though Marji isn't religious in the way that Iran wants her to be religious, she takes solace in her personal faith.
