• I was born in the middle of the Second World War when the United States dropped their atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, when millions of people were dying in concentration camps, when half the planet were colonies that belonged to empires.

We can fight against stuff together in ways we couldn't before.

He believed that if you can keep people in your memory, they will live forever. That's what he did with my grandmother.
