They take their autonomy, escape us, come back, with this manner that the things rebels have do not ask our opinion before they appear. And then, talk, tell, it's always hiding something. The story is the territory of avoidance. While you tell me a story, others are held, and they that also deserve to be told. Who decides in meof what I remember ? And why did I choose to forget such as face or event ? Maybe I that I have only delivered the things with which I am permitted to live while hiding those that haunt me really ?" -- Lyonel Trouillot
