My faith is a wounded faith, but it's not without faith. My life is not without faith.

I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.

I decided to devote my life to telling the story because I felt that having survived I owe something to the dead. and anyone who does not remember betrays them again.

I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some invite sorrow, others joy, some both.

My good friends, we are all waiting. We are waiting, if not for the Messiah, as such, we are waiting for the messianic moment. And the messianic moment is what each and every one of us tries to build, meaning a certain area of humanity that links us to all those who are human and, therefore, desperately trying to fight despair as humanly as possible and - I hope - with some measure of success.

I believe in the story [ of Adam and Eve]. For me, it's a story.

Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.
