We should have left immediately, but we walked defiantly through the square, the black twisted crosses above our heads. (p222)

Additional quotes by Ida Fink

But you know, the life force has such strong roots, you can't tear it out. Even after those we love most have died. But you are young, what do you know about that? ("The Other Shore")
