A lot of people facing fascism didn’t become fascists. I don’t happen to believe that we are all monsters. - Margaret Atwood

I would like to be without shame. I would like to be shameless. I would like to be ignorant. Then I would not know how ignorant I was.

But who can remember pain, once it's over?

The moment of betrayal is the worst, the moment when you know beyond any doubt that you've been betrayed: that some other human being has wished you that much evil. It was like being in an elevator cut loose at the top. Falling, falling, and not knowing when you will hit.
