“C'est vrai qu'aucun [...] n'avait vu ce que nous pouvions voir nous, les enfants et ma mère, au sein du foyer, où il se comportait comme un tyran. Et c'est quand même ça qui ressort avant tout de cette personnalité : quelqu'un qui ne supporte pas la contradiction, qui doit tout le temps avoir la main sur tout, qui décide, surveille, punit, et qui, jamais ne partage le pouvoir.”

“The thing that is liberating about literature is it offers us access to something greater than we are. Greater than our pain, greater than our personal experience, greater than the intensity I’ve talked about. Discovering literature is like gaining access to a world of extreme risk, of encounters with the enormity of life and death, but on a different plane. It can be a consolation. A form of consolation, but never enough to save a person.”
