1 " We walked in wisdom with our shadows, in search of the dead part of ourselves, which would be our shelter. "
― Yvonne Vera , Nehanda
2 " Time is as necessary for remembering as it is for forgetting. Even the smallest embrace of pain needs time larger than a pause; the greatest pause requires an eternity, the greatest hurt a lifetime. A lifetime is longer than eternity: an eternity can exist without human presence. "
― Yvonne Vera , The Stone Virgins
3 " For me writing is light, a radiance that captures everything in a fine profile. This light searches and illuminates, it is a safe place from which to uncover the emotional havoc of our experience. Light is a bright warmth which heals. Writing can be this kind of light. "
― Yvonne Vera
