Quotes by Violaine Huisman (?)

“The truth of a life is the fiction that sustains it.”
― Violaine Huisman, The Book of Mother

“The biographical elements that served as her history, or her mythology even, didn’t need to be accurate in order to be true. They really took place in her past as she recalled it. The truth of a life is the fiction that sustains it.”
― Violaine Huisman, The Book of Mother

“But if there are two things in this world that one can safely say are imperfect, that inevitably fall short, they are love and language. Words—besmirched by centuries of misuse, worn out by clichés, arbitrary—are always traitors.”
― Violaine Huisman, The Book of Mother
