In literature, anything including memory is second-hand.

What cannot be said can be written. Because writing is a silent act, a labor from head to hand.

If you live with death threats, you need friends. So you have to take the risk that they might spy on you.

I have packed myself so deeply and for so long in silence that I can never open myself up using words. When I speak, I pack myself a little differently.

Women always need other women they can rely on. They become friends the better they hate each other. The more they hate each other, the more inseparable they become.

When we don't speak, Edgar said, we become unbearable and when we do speak we make fools of ourselves.

Every day took me away from other people. I was kept from the eyes of the world as if in a cupboard and I expected it to stay that way. I grew up longing to be alone, disoriented, ignored.

You don't need much life to fight death. You just need a life that hasn't ended yet.

Once upon a time, something bad happened to them and they blamed them for everything.

My flesh was burning as the skin on my knees peeled off and I was afraid I couldn't live anymore with so much pain and yet I knew I was alive because it hurt. I was afraid death would enter me through this exposed knee and I quickly covered my knee with my hands.

If only the right person had to go, everyone else would be able to stay in the country.

I wanted love to grow again like grass after it's cut. To grow differently when needed like baby teeth, like hair, like nails. To grow at will, wild and unguarded. The coolness of the sheets made me shiver and the heat that followed when I lay down.

There was a time when I thought that without protection, people in the world would walk differently than the way we do in our country. Where people are allowed to think and write differently I thought they would walk differently too.

In a dictatorship no city can grow, because when everything is seen it remains small.

No words are adequate for the agony caused by hunger. Even today I have to show hunger that I have escaped its grasp. Ever since I stopped starving I literally eat life itself and when I eat, I am locked inside the taste of food. For the sixty years since I came back from the camp, I have been eating against hunger.

In this county we have had to walk, eat, sleep and love with fear.

Only the madmen did not raise their hands in the great hall. They had replaced fear with madness.

We laughed a lot to hide it from each other. But fear always finds a way. If you keep control of your face, it gets into your voice. If you manage to keep a grip on your face and your voice as if they were dead wood it will slip through your fingers. It will pass through your skin and linger there. You may find it lingering on nearby objects.

Small treasures have a sign that says I am here.

Big treasures have a sign that says Do you remember?

But the most precious treasures will have a sign that says I was there.

Now I was someone else. We knew each other in a way we no longer did and never will. Being strangers is hard but being strangers is unbearable when you are so impossibly close.

Some say that over time homesickness loses its specific content. It begins to smolder and only then engulfs everything because it is no longer centered on the concrete house.
