Quotes I Want to Remember
this has happened
-"We could not imagine our father and mother victims of violence. Even today, if I try to re-create within myself the reality in which they perished, I feel my mind waver as if streams of black liquid had invaded it."
p 107

-Her sister could not get up to go work and she has to go work so the whole day she is beside herself with her sisters health and fate.
"The day was agonizingly long. It's difficult to find words to describe how the measure of time is simply a convention, how there exists within us a time that can contract and expand infinitely, escaping any calculation. When evening came I was more exhasted by the waiting than by the work."p 133

-Just before this her sister has died in Auschwitz and her body is thrown beside a shed which she has to walk past every day. She sees her sisters face slowly get covered deeper and deeper in snow over the course of four days.
"And from that moment my memoires became confused, detached, impersonal. My subconscious holds them like an evil nesting inside me. I know that I should free myself of them but I cannot. I am not capable of bringing them to the surface of consciousness." p 139

From HEAT
-"History always teaches us we can't turn back the clock but I seemed to have been surrounded by people who kept trying."
