« Not having memories of your childhood is like being condemned to carry around a crate that you don't know about. And the older you get, the heavier it looks to you, and the more eager you get to finally open this thing. Jurek Becker (p74) »

« Hate doesn't make you sick. This is true of pent-up hatred, disconnected, but not from consciously lived and expressed feelings. As adults, we feel hatred only when a situation where we are denied the expression of our feelings persists. In this state of dependency, we begin to hate. As soon as we get out (and the adult can in most cases, unless he is a prisoner of a totalitarian regime), as soon as we spread out of this slavery, the hatred fades away. But as long as it remains, there is no point in forbidding one from hating, as all religions prescribe. We need to understand what is going on in order to be able to adopt this behaviour that frees us from hate-generating addiction. »

« Once we have learned to live with our feelings instead of fighting them, the manifestations of our bodies will no longer appear to us as a threat, but as salutary reminders of our history. (P115) »
