“One hesitates to call them living: one hesitates to call their death death, in the face of which they have no fear, as they are too tired to understand.”
― Primo Levi, Survival in Auschwitz

“Here we received the first blows: and it was so new and senseless that we felt no pain, neither in body nor in spirit. Only a profound amazement: how can one hit a man without anger?”
― Primo Levi, If This Is A Man/The Truce: 'Miraculous' Philippe Sands

“I do not know what I will think tomorrow and later; today I feel no distinct emotion.”
― Primo Levi, If This Is a Man • The Truce

“Anyone who cannot cope with life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate...but with his other hand he can jot down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different and more things than the others; after all, he is dead in his own lifetime and the real survivor.”
― Franz Kafka
