" We are our own memory-keepers and we have failed ourselves. It is like that game we played in school as children. Sitting in a circle, one student whispers a phrase into another student’s ear and the phrase is passed around until the last student in the circle repeats what she hears, only to find out it is nothing like what it is supposed to be.

This is our life now. "

― Carrie Ryan , The Forest of Hands and Teeth (The Forest of Hands and Teeth, #1)
