“My story is the story of forgotten people and the voice of the voiceless.”
“I want to be part of your story. I want your story to rearrange the symbols in my mind. I want your voice to be my voice.”
“But a man is not forgotten, as long as there are two people left under the sky. One, to tell the story; the other, to hear it.”
“I knew there was something holding me here. It wasn't paprikash. Or nostalgia for my meager childhood... ...Somewhere in me a nearly voiceless child was asking to know the rest of the story that had been interrupted.”
“My books hold between their covers every story I've ever known and still remember, or have now forgotten, or may one day read; they fill the space around me with ancient and new voices.”
“Do not be afraid to be the voice of the voiceless.”
