If i have one message to give to the secular american people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. the world is not divided between east and west. you are american, i am iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. the difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. and the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. and our governments are very much the same.

He thought about the story his daughter was living and the role she was playing inside that story. he realized he hadn't provided a better role for his daughter. he hadn't mapped out a story for his family. and so his daughter had chosen another story, a story in which she was wanted, even if she was only being used. in the absence of a family story, she'd chosen a story in which there was risk and adventure, rebellion and independence.
