"Before I met No I thought that violence meant shouting and hitting and war and blood. Now I know that there can also be violence in silence and that itâ€™s sometimes invisible to the naked eye. Thereâ€™s violence in the time that conceals wounds, the relentless succession of days, the impossibility of turning back the clock. Violence is what escapes us. Itâ€™s silent and hidden. Violence is what remains inexplicable, what stays forever opaque."
