“There are things we never tell anyone. We want to but we can't. So we write them down. Or we paint them. Or we sing about them. It's our only option. To remember. To attempt to discover the truth.

And in the end we have to decide for ourselves when these things are worth fighting for, and when it's time to throw in the towel.”
