Marjane Satrapi

It is dangerous when you start calling people from one part of the world terrorists or fanatic, and you reduce them to some abstract notion. If evil has a geographical place, and if the evil has a name, that is the beginning of fascism. Real life is not this way. You have fanatics and narrow-minded people everywhere.

Sebastian Lelio

Either we learn to live together and embrace the complexity of life, or we will end up with fascism again and destroy ourselves.
