"The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people"
- Marjane Satrapi
About this Quote
In this quote, Marjane Satrapi, an Iranian-born French graphic novelist, challenges the typically held belief that the world is divided into two opposing sides - the West and the East. Rather, she argues that the true conflict lies between individuals who possess intelligence and those who lack it. Satrapi recommends that this "war" is not limited to any specific region or culture, but rather it is a universal struggle between those who are unbiased, curious, and happy to learn, and those who are close-minded, ignorant, and resistant to change. By framing the dispute in this way, Satrapi highlights the importance of vital thinking and education in conquering social divisions and promoting peace.
