Status Updates From Lire dangereusement

“This writing is an act of defiance against the absolute silences of death, against the generalizations that always mimic death by erasing the details, the individual, and the particular. One way of resisting war and death is remembering life, in all its trivialities. And being tender. This is the first thing that war and oppression take away from you: tenderness.”

“Create dangerously, for people who read dangerously. This is what I’ve always thought it meant to be a writer. Writing, knowing in part that no matter how trivial your words may seem, someday, somewhere, someone may risk his or her life to read them.”
