“The wolf caught me in its jaws
but when I cried out,
other only said:
I have seen the wolf many times
and he has not bitten me”
Trista Mateer, Artemis Made Me Do It

Carmen Maria Machado
“The word archive Jacques Derrida tells us, comes from the ancient Greek work “the house of the ruler.” When I first learned about this etymology, I was taken with the use of house (a lover of haunted house stories,
I'm a sucker for architecture metaphors), but it is the power, the authority, that is the most telling element. What is placed in or left out of the archive is a political act, dictated by the archivist and the political context in which she lives. This is true whether it’s a parent deciding whats worth recording of a child’s early life or---like Europe and its Stolpersteines, its “stumbling blocks’"---a continent publicly reckoning with its past. Here is where Sebastian took his first fat-footed baby steps; here is the house where Judith was living when
we took her to her death.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
