"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn’t work like I thought it did. We don’t remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. To remember is to remake, to reimagine."
记忆是件奇怪的事。它的运作方式和我以为的不同。我们不是在回忆,而是在重写记忆,就像历史被重写一样。回忆就是重塑,就是重新想象。
To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern that no shade of quality escapes it.
The deepest wounds are often invisible to the naked eye.
History is the art of making the dead speak.
