For me, who loves to draw and who loves to write and cannot choose between one or the other, the comic is the best form.
Marjane SatrapiIf people are given the chance to experience life in more than one country, they will hate a little less. It's not a miracle potion, but little by little you can solve problems in the basement of a country, not on the surface.
