“In war you are nowhere, neither part of the past nor the future, and it opens up a hunger in you that widens with each day. Until that is all you are. You could easily get swallowed up by it. I've seen it happen. At times I believed I saw life as it truly is, naked, and it shook my soul. It is a terrible thing to see.” — Hisham Matar
