"Di kelas seni di sekolah kami belajar cara menggambar tank dan tentara menembaki [pemimpin Iran Ayatollah] Khomeini dan janggutnya. Mereka tidak mengajari kami nama-nama bunga yang tumbuh di sekitar kami di kota - bunga liar dari segala jenis dan semua warna. Guru matematika itu biasa mencambuk anak-anak dengan sabuk celananya. Ayah saya terus-menerus melakukan kekerasan terhadap ibu saya karena alasan yang paling sepele."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In art class at school we learned how to draw tanks and soldiers opening fire at [Iranian leader Ayatollah] Khomeini and his beard. They didn't teach us the names of the flowers that grew around us in the city - wild flowers of all kinds and all colors. The math teacher used to whip the kids with his trouser belt. My father was constantly violent toward my mother for the most trivial reasons.
