Sentences of the Week:


"This was one of the consequences of civil war. People stopped trusting each other, and everyone became an enemy" (37).
"If you are alive, there is hope for a better day and something good to happen. If there is nothing good left in the destiny of a person, he or she will die" (54).
"Our innocence had been replaced by fear and we had become monsters" (55).
