“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
― Voltaire

“For almost forty years, I have tried to draw a shape that resembles me, but without success. Today, though, I can connect those disparate dots. I can see, in the constellation of fragments scattered over the page, a silhouette in which I recognize myself at last: I am the daughter, and the granddaughter, of survivors.”
― Anne Berest, The Postcard
