“Red birds are real. The reason we don’t see them is because we don’t want to. Because if we see them, we’ll remember. When someone dies in a raid or a shooting or when someone’s throat is slit, their last drop of blood transforms into a tiny red bird and flies away. And then reappears when we are trying hard to forget them, when we think we have forgotten them, when we think we have learned to live without them, when we utter those stupid words that we have ‘moved on’.”
Red birds”
― Muhammed Hanif

“We are all to blame, we are all to blame … and if only all were convinced of it!”
― Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, Demons
