Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life.
Christopher Paolini, Eragon

I believe in fiction and the power of stories because that way we speak
in tongues. We are not silenced. All of us, when in deep trauma, find we hesitate, we stammer; there are long pauses in our speech. The thing is stuck. We get our language back through the language of others. We can turn to the poem. We can open the book. Somebody has been there for us and deep-dived the words.
I needed words because unhappy families are conspiracies of silence.
The one who breaks the silence is never forgiven. He or she has to learn to forgive him or herself.
Jeanette Winterson, Why be happy when you could be normal?
