“The occurrence of an event is not the same thing as knowing what it is that one has lived through. Most people had not lived – nor could it, for that matter, be said that they had died – through any of their terrible events. They had simply been stunned by the hammer. They passed their lives thereafter in a kind of limbo of denied and unexamined pain.” — James Baldwin
