“privilege is about context and circumstance”
― Bernardine Evaristo, Girl, Woman, Other

“Conversations, in a family, become linguistic archaeology. They build the world we share, layer it in a palimpsest, give meaning to our present and future. The question is, when, in the future, we dig into our intimate archive, replay our family tape, will it amount to a story? A soundscape?”
― Valeria Luiselli, Lost Children Archive

“All I see in hindsight is the chaos of history repeated, over and over, re-enacted, reinterpreted, the world, it’s fucked-up heart palpitating underneath us, failing, messing up again and again as it wound its way around a sun, and in the middle of it all, tribes, families, people, all beautiful things falling apart, debris, dust, erasure.”

“Stories are a way of subtracting the future from the past, the only way of finding clarity in hindsight.”
