Quotes from Sylvia Fraser

Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to what we know of nature.

Knowledge without devotion is like a stone in water.

As a child, I survived by forgetting. Later, the amnesia became a problem as large as the one it was meant to conceal. However, I did not remember my past until the homemade bomb was defused, until the evil was contained, until I was stable enough and happy enough that sorrow or anger or regret or pain was overwhelmed by joy at my release. To reach this state, I needed the help of friends and healers. This I had in abundance. (252)

I wrap my mind around pain till it smothers in its own scream. (101)
