Quote by Alane Mason

“Reza found the term “Persia” embarrassing, seeing as it smacked of water pipes and flying carpets and had it replaced with “Iran,” which refers to the country’s Aryan heritage. The Aryans were little more than a despairing mob of hungry Siberians who settled in what is now Iran a very long time ago.” – Tirdad Zolghadr, A Little Less Conversation”
