Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation. Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Looking back across the years, so many pictures flash on the screen of my memory that just as I begin to see one clearly, another slides in, blotting out the first, itself to be pushed aside by the next and the next and the next. Conrad Veidt
