Quotes for Thought

 Through out reading the book I came across some lines and quotes that I really liked. So hear are just a few of them:

"The eyes of a women in the face of a ten-year-old girl." (162)

"He had closed his eyes." (163)

"Zakhor. Al Tichkah. Remember. Never forget." (261)

"I had looked at him straight in the eyes. Sorry for not knowing. Sorry for being forty-five years old and not knowing." (192) 

"Why so much pain, so much suffering, thought the girl. "It's because they hate us," Rachel had told her with a deep hoarse voice. "They hate Jews." Such hate, thought the girl. Why such hate? She had never hated anyone in her life, except perhaps a teacher, once." (page 87)

"Were they in fact machines, not human beings? She looked closely at them. They seemed of flesh and bone. They were men. She couldn't understand." (79)

All these quotes stuck in my mind through out the book. They are all powerful and full of meaning, and show what Sarah went through and the pain of the time. These were the most memorable quotes for me.
