Quote by Svetlana Alexievich

“Entonces, ¿para qué recuerda la gente? ¿Para restablecer la verdad? ¿La justicia? ¿Para liberarse y olvidar? ¿Porque comprenden que han participado en un acontecimiento grandioso? ¿O porque buscan en el pasado alguna protección? Y todo eso, a sabiendas de que los recuerdos son algo frágil, efímero; no se trata de conocimientos precisos, sino de conjeturas sobre uno mismo. No son aún conocimientos, son solo sentimientos. Lo que siento.”

“The Nelazan believed that there was beauty in darkness, and that the daylight was more profane. They saw the stars as the Thousand Eyes of Trell watching them. The sun was the single, jealous eye of Trell’s brother, Nalt. Since Nalt only had one eye, he made it blaze brightly to outshine his brother. The Nelazan, however, were not impressed, and preferred to worship the quiet Trell, who watched over them even when Nalt obscured the sky.”
