“You cannot lose the truth. You must keep it buried, in a box under the stairs in the cellar of your brain. You might even struggle to find it some days. But if it's tossed out, if it's lost... then so are you." Ewen sighed and said, "Sometimes I think the whole of Germany is like that. Hitler invented a fiction for them, and they're all living it... and they've totally lost the truth." He got very quiet. "But why? How? How does a whole country bury the truth and forget where they buried it?” — Adam Gidwitz
