3 quotes from A Long Way Gone

  • "When I was in school, I was taught that the only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to communicate and to create. But in war, I think, there is nothing more like a beast than a person who has lost his ability to communicate and create."
  • "The things I had seen had taken away my childhood. I had lost my innocence, and I was now just a soldier: a killer. But I had to learn how to survive in this world in order to get back to my family and make sure they were safe."
  • "I want you to know that it is not easy to tell this story. I want to tell it because I want to show that it is possible to go through something terrible and still find a way to live."
