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
