“The government chooses death, and then the life always wins.” — Behavar, owner of @celeshmet Persian restaurant.

“Iranians like a peaceful life.To explain, it might be a sad thing, but it also has a lesson. Some people criticize that: Ok, if people go to the streets without guns and are empty handed, and then the guards come and shoot them and they lost their life, and then are they stupid. Why don't they carry guns with themselves?”

“I have memories that people will even go and give flowers to the army and then and ask them to join them. Now, so like during these 44 years, there were great moments like this that I remember. And now I can hear it on the news that it is working. This method is working because I heard that many army people do not support the government anymore. Even though it's very hard because they might get the death sentence. If they don't obey the rules in army, they risk their life. But they do it because they don't want to kill their own people to support the bloody regime. So because people could send their message to the army, now the borders are more clear between the people and the government—more than before. That's because people choose life. The government chooses death, and then the life always win.”
