Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I used to imagine adventures for myself, I invented a life, so that I could at least exist somehow.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

Joy Kogawa
“we're a "lower order of people" in one breath we are damned for being "unassailable" and the next there is fear that we'll assimilate. ... If we are educated, the complaint is that we will cease being the "ideal servant".”
Joy Kogawa, Obasan

Joy Kogawa
“some memories, too, might better be forgotten. didn't Obasan once say, "it is better to forget"? what purpose is served by hauling forth the jar of inedible food? if it is not seen, it does not horrify. what is past recall is past pain.”
Joy Kogawa, Obasan
