“What can be said about chronic hunger. Perhaps that there's a hunger that can make you sick with hunger. That it comes in addition to the hunger you already feel.

How can you face the world if all you can say about yourself is that you're hungry.” IfsWorldFeelsSaidFacesGrowsEffortSickHungerHungryAbout YourselfNever Ending Author:Herta Muller
