Judith Lewis Herman
“Survivors of atrocity of every age and every culture come to a point in their testimony where all questions are reduced to one, spoken more in bewilderment than in outrage: Why? The answer is beyond human understanding.”
Judith Lewis Herman, Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence--From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror

Bruno Schulz
“An event may be small and insignificant in its origin, and yet, when drawn close to one’s eye, it may open in its center an infinite and radiant perspective because a higher order of being is trying to express itself in it and irradiates it violently.”
Bruno Schulz

Louis-Ferdinand Céline
“Poverty is a giant, it uses your face like a mop to wipe away the world's garbage.”
Celine

Adrienne Rich
“Sexist grammar burns into the brains of little girls and young women a message that the male is the norm, the standard, the central figure beside which we are all deviants, the marginal, the dependent variables. It lays the foundation for androcentric thinking, and leaves men safe in their solipsistic tunnel-vision.”
Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence. Selected Prose 1966-1978

“most treacherous aspect of the I/not-I duality is that it is mistaken for actuality.”
Wu Hsin, Behind the MInd: The Short Discourses of Wu Hsin
