Quote: Karen Connelly (Writer)

This quote is from a book I am reading on Burma written by Karen Connelly a Canadian writer who was born in Calgary. The book "Burmese Lessons" is about her personal journey discovering Burmese culture, the language and people.

"If the artist is a historian of the personal, the images he creates are artifacts---evidence of lives lived, lives broken. Subjectivity doesn't detract from the reliability of personal history---it adds to it, makes it irrefutable truth."
