"I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. 

Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. 

That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. 

If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after"

Sahar Delijani,
Iranian author

Perfectly expressed.

There’s a heartbreaking scene at the end of “Requiem for a dream” where Harry is in prison and he calls Marion and promises her that he’s coming back.
She knows it’s not true.
He knows it’s not true.
But there they are, faced with no other choice but to believe this impossible thing.

Imagine if Ali had given up the first time?
You chip away and you chip away and you just keep fighting for what you believe. Love this for her.

It’s a thing of beauty.
Bless Ali.
She stuck at it year, after year, chipping away - always knowing what was possible.

Insane. Infuriating. Sadly predictable.

Poor James is absolutely oozing bitterness about “shameless” community independents. Love to see it.

She’s a lock.
Love to see it.

Nice idea, but I’m afraid I’ve not seen her in 25 years!

Not sure about the U.S but authors also get a payment (albeit tiny) when a book is borrowed in the UK and Australia.
