I call iran home because no matter how long i live in france, and despite the fact that i feel also french after all these years, to me the word 'home' has only one meaning: iran. i suppose it's that way for everyone: home is the place where one is born and raised.

More From Marjane Satrapi

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

In that first national election after 9/11 in france, jean-marine le pen did not win the presidency, but he did get to the final round. he was in the general election. now, this week, in the first national elections in france after what many people have been calling the french 9/11, the attacks in paris three weeks ago, this time it`s jean-marie le pen`s daughter, marine le pen and the national front, which is still a far right pseudo- fascistic party, they came in first place in france.

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.

The second world war had a precipitating effect in that it discredited the empires, as well as bankrupting them. not only could you no longer, if you were a colonial subject of france in africa, look to france as a model of power and influence and civility after what had happened in the war. nor could the french any longer afford to run their empire. and nor could the british, although they were not discredited in the way that the french were.

(i)f france's righteous bloviating against war makes them your dashboard saint of international integrity, it's either because you are sand-poundingly ignorant of how the world works or it's because you think france's self-interest is more important than america's. if the former applies to you, read a book. if it's the latter, maybe you should move there along with alec baldwin, robert altman, and the rest of the crowd who promised to leave a long time ago. but whatever you do, don't call france's position principled, because that just insults us both.

Six months after 9/11, jean-marie le pen was almost elected president of france. there were a number of leaders and a number of parties running in the french national elections that year in the spring of 2002. but it ended up being not just a shock across france, and not just a shock across europe. but it ended up being almost a worldwide shock when in the spring of 2002, jean-marie le pen came in second in those national elections. that put him in a two-man runoff for the presidency of france, spring of 2002.

I've never been a hands-on dad. i'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.

Behold great whitman, whose licentious line delights the rake, and warms the souls of swine; whose fever'd fancy shuns the measur'd pace, and copies ovid's filth without his grace. in his rough brain a genius might have grown, had he not sought to play the brute alone; but void of shame, he let his wit run wild, and liv'd and wrote as adam's bestial child.
