“I never want to be suspended in the limbo of non-decision again. It's like torturing yourself on purpose.”

“It was as if gravity was suspended. It was like dancing, I thought, although I had never danced in my whole life. We were never to walk like that again.”

“Never again" becomes more than a slogan: It's a prayer, a promise, a vow. There will never again be hatred, people say. Never again jail and torture. Never again the suffering of innocent people, or the shooting of starving, frightened, terrified children. And never again the glorification of base, ugly, dark violence. It's a prayer.”

“I want and need to like myself again; I have to convince myself that I’m capable of taking my own decision.”

“I am in limbo, and in limbo there are no races, no prizes, no changes, no chances. There are merely degrees of endurance, and endurance never was my strong point.”

“I finally understand what it's like to be truly awake, and I never ever want to go back to sleep again.”
