Quote by Srđan Srdić

“To je bio divalj čovek. Meni je to lakrdijanje. Sva ta priča. Odakle se on pojavio? Kao da niko tada nije brinuo o tome. Neartikulisan. Pisao je polujasno, nebulozno. Kad, počeli su da mu pridaju pažnju. Sreli smo se, ko zna. On je znao, ja sam znao, da ta knjiga ništa ne valja. Bilo je komično, zaluđivali smo budale po gradovima i selima. Nije bili ničega, tekst je patio od nedorečenosti. Neverovatna tlapnja. Izučavao sam imena. Šta možeš kad se zoveš Srđan Srdić. Ne možeš ništa.”

“Why Is It So Important to Remember? When you were abused, those around you acted as if it weren’t happening. Since no one else acknowledged the abuse, you sometimes felt that it wasn’t real. Because of this you felt confused. You couldn’t trust your own experience and perceptions. Moreover, others’ denial led you to suppress your memories, thus further obscuring the issue. You can end your own denial by remembering. Allowing yourself to remember is a way of confirming in your own mind that you didn’t just imagine it. Because the person who abused you did not acknowledge your pain, you may have also thought that perhaps it wasn’t as bad as you felt it was. In order to acknowledge to yourself that it really was that bad, you need to remember as much detail as possible. Because by denying what happened to you, you are doing to yourself exactly what others have done to you in the past: You are negating and denying yourself.”

“For girls who've been pressured into sex they didn't want, growing into a woman's body can be terrifying. Anorexia and bulimia can be an attempt to say no, to assert control over their changing bodies. Compulsive overeating is another way.”

“We can ill afford to wait until we have worked through all our memories & feelings about incest before learning to rest & play. While it may seem to be a natural impulse to get to the bottom of things & purge ourselves fully, we need to regularly examine the full picture of our lives for balance along the way…Learning to rest & play is an essential part of our healing.”

“People would think that clergy would plead guilty and would do all they could to minimise the stress and pain for the victim. But the Church will hire the best lawyers, barristers and even QCs to defend the abusers ... The victims are cross-examined as if they are on trial. The victims have to recount every detail of the abuse, and then are called liars.' (Sexual Abuse survivor Andrew Collins quoted on p.364)”

“The numbing effects of scrolling down an endless newsfeed are both the problem and its own relief. Over time, this works to delirious effect. Periodically, after long projects or particularly lengthy binges, I feel saturated and dissociate. No longer able to process information, I let my unread messages pile up in my inbox and notifications from friends accumulate whilst I lie for hours on my sofa during the weekends, unable to do anything, but unable to do nothing either.”
