Accepts Quotes
The Holocaust survivor who knows Auschwitz through the experience of suffering observes it all from the perspective assigned to him.

Oscars Quotes
When Oscar Niemeyer died on December 5, 2012, ten days before his 105th birthday, he was universally regarded as the very last of the twentieth century's major architectural masters, an astonishing survivor whose most famous accomplishment, Brasilia, was the climactic episode of utopian High Modern urbanism.

Battle Quotes
I would never call myself a cancer survivor because I think it devalues those who do not survive. There's this whole mythology that people bravely battle their cancer and then they become survivors. Well, the ones who don't survive may be just as brave, you know, just as courageous, wonderful people.

Tv Shows Quotes
Here's my proposal, which is based on the TV show Survivor: We put the entire Congress on an island. All the food on this island is locked inside a vault, which can be opened only by an ordinary American taxpayer named Bob. Every day, the congresspersons are given a section of the Tax Code, which they must rewrite so that Bob can understand it. If he can, he lets them eat that day; if he can't, he doesn't.

Holocaust Quotes
The truth is that History, with its imposing capital H, is simply the amalgamation of many quotidian lives lived in very ordinary ways. History is always personal. If you read Holocaust survivor or American slavery survivor narratives, you realize all too well that these great Historical moments were personal to someone at some time.

Men Quotes
Jephthah called together the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a survivor of Ephraim said, 'Let me cross over,' the men of Gilead asked him, 'Are you an Ephraimite?' If he replied, 'No,' they said, 'All right, say Shibboleth.' If he said, 'Sibboleth,' because he could not pronounce the word correctly, they seized and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. Fourty-thousand were killed at the time.

Elevated Quotes

Cautious Quotes
Survivor is very cautious about making the game exactly what it is. They protect it. When they start the game, we don't know each other's names. We never heard each other talk, so we don't know where people are from. Just the fact that we traveled together and being around each other made you feel closer to them.

Affected Quotes
We were just so stunned at how this affected our relationship, and so much at a loss for finding resources to help us. We had made this promise to each other that if we got through this we were going to tell our story because we were so hungry to hear other people's survivor stories.

Airwaves Quotes
This was something that was crackling over the airwaves immediately. If happiness could have been a cloud of red smoke, we wouldn't have been able to see our hands in front of our face. Amid all the death and destruction, it's amazing what one survivor can do to boost everybody's spirits.
