I was learning the importance of names - having them, making them - but at the same time I sensed the dangers. Recognition was followed by oblivion, a yawning maw whose victims disappeared without a trace.

What am I most ashamed of in my life? Not keeping my promise to my sister and being too scared of America to attend her funeral.

All my life, I have maintained that the people of the world can learn to live together in peace if they are not brought up in prejudice.

The old Catholic parties hounded me with a Christian hatred from station to station, city to city, one stage to another.

I believe in prayer. It's the best way we have to draw strength from heaven.

The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains.
