Our words have deep strong roots, and will never be eradicated with a pistol. There will be no better result from using a pistol than bloodshed. Say and write whatever you like, we will never be offended, but your support for thugs has a different meaning.

— Ahmad Kasravi

More quotes by Ahmad Kasravi

Our family in Tabriz was a mullah family.

From childhood to the age of six, I do not remember anything but shaving my head and suffering from it.

I never wanted to be known and my name to be mentioned. But whether or not this happened, it was very appropriate for me to write my own life history so that there would be no need for others to make incomplete inquiries and get a combination of right and wrong.

When I was in Tehran, on the one hand, I became acquainted with the Esperantist group, and on the other hand, I became acquainted with the Baha'is.

I had to become a mullah after studying, and apart to my father's will, I hated the mullah myself.
