“...The more modest and impractical the kitchen, the more likely one will be invited to stay for a meal. Show me a fancy house with a top-of-the-line gourmet kitchen, and I'll show you a family that eats out a lot.”
Firoozeh Dumas, Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of Growing Up Iranian in America

“Ever since we had arrived in the United States, my classmates kept asking me about magic carpets.
- They don't exist-I always said. I was wrong. Magic carpets do exist. But they are called library cards.”
Firoozeh Dumas, Laughing Without an Accent: Adventures of an Iranian American, at Home and Abroad

“Repose not trust in testing another's degree of honesty at the risk of one's loss in matters big, unless collateralized.”
Firoozeh Dumas
