Nothing feeds forgetfulness better than war, Daniel. We all keep quiet and they try to convince us that what we've seen, what we've done, what we've learned about ourselves and about others, is an illusion, a passing nightmare. Wars have no memory, and nobody has the courage to understand them until there are no voices left to tell what happened, until the moment comes when we no longer recognize them and they return, with another face and another name, to devour what they left behind. p. 428
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
We all remain silent and they try to convince us that what we've seen, what we've done, what we've learned about ourselves and about others, is an illusion, a nightmare that will pass. Wars have no memory, and nobody has the courage to understand them until there are no voices left to tell what really happened, until the moment comes when we no longer recognize them and they return, with another face and another name, to devour everything they left behind.
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon

The character had repressed all his guilt and self-doubt, the things that might make him appealing to viewers. He was simply a cold, oppressive force, a modern woman's nightmare of what the boys in power can do, how they will let her go so far and then the gate slams shut and she can travel no further. No one will listen to her, no one will believe her, she has no money
~ Kathleen Gilles Seidel
