Trauma

“Everything has been destroyed; everything has been taken from us.”

“For a long time the streets remained strewn with corpses, as the walks of a garden with dead flowers and leaves.”

“However, I was stabbed in the back that same afternoon.”

“I made it from the pin of a hand grenade - from the first grenade I ever used in training.”

“Je suis un enfant de la violence, donc un adulte de la paix.”

“My main talent is turning trauma into something that looks showbizzy.”

“The panic that seized [Lebanon] is really hard to describe because we've been through so much already.”

“My life began with the First World War … and since, every day of my existence has been a struggle.”

“A human brain is not designed to be exposed to this much misery and bloodshed every single day.”
