Today, we don't talk about history. The past is two weeks ago, and the future is two weeks after.
Marjane SatrapiFor me, drawing is a question of death and life. Every day I draw, I write, I do something.
Marjane SatrapiWe always say we are equal in front of death, but when you are rich, for example, and you have everybody taking care of you, I think that you suffer much less. It must be much more painful to die when you are poor than when you are rich. But when your heart is broken, you can be rich, poor, whatever - a broken heart, we are all equal in front of it. And I think there is no subject more serious.
Marjane SatrapiDrawing is the first language of the human being before writing. It's a transcription of how the human being sees reality, not reality itself.
