“We fought to hide our fear, to maintain our positions as predators rather than victims. In reality, we were all victims.”
“ We are the creators of our future and the victims of our past”
“We are not the victims of our circumstances; we are the creators of them!”
“At that moment we knew that as long as we used our brains, we were not victims. By striking out to write our own ticket, we would grow up to be like our mother, winners.”
“We wrap our arms around each other and we cry. We cry mother to daughter. We cry aunt to niece. We cry victim to victim. We cry survivor to survivor.”
“was our suffering of any consequence to their consciences? Did they see us as victims> Or were we simply nameless, faceless humans who were in their way?”
