“You struggle to live the best you can but soon the whole lot disappears. We get up in the morning, but that morning doesn't actually exist any more than the night before, which everyone's already forgotten. We're all walking on the edge of a precipice, I've known that for a long time. One step forward, one step in the void. Over and over again. Going where? No one knows. No one gives a damn.”
Véronique Olmi

“Pour qu’une histoire soit merveilleuse, il faut que le début soit terrible, bien sûr, mais que le malheur reste acceptable et que personne n'en sorte sali, ni celle qui raconte, ni ceux qui écoutent.”
Véronique Olmi, Bakhita

“A woman who silences her unhappiness is a woman who carries a formidable enemy within her. This woman should dance and scream, on and on, exorcise the spirit that possesses her.”
Véronique Olmi, Bakhita: A Novel of the Saint of Sudan
