" Whatever is coming does not just come, as you say. It's helped by people willfully looking away. People develop the habit of swallowing lies rather than (learn) the truth. The minute you start thinking something else, then you've stopped paying attention ---and paying attention is all we've got."

"If the world had paid more attention in 1939, maybe we wouldn't be sitting here in the dark, dodging bombs"

"A story like a snapshot is caught, held for a moment and then delivered. But the people in them go on and on. And what happens next? What happens?"
Not knowing haunted her. "
