My boyish reminiscence of the old engineer, as he sketched a triangle on the flags of our yard, and taught me how to measure it, is very vivid.

William Crawford Williamson

For me, there was no room for any thought except survival.
Eva Mozes Kor

What magic was this, brewed from equal parts of age-old memories and total oblivion.
