“You could be erased a little so that there was less of you, less confidence, less freedom, or your rights could be eroded, your body invaded so that it was less and less yours, you could be rubbed out altogether, and none of those possibilities seemed particularly remote.

Even if you weren’t killed, something in you was, your sense of freedom, equality, confidence”
― Rebecca Solnit, Recollections of My Nonexistence
