These last months, I have learned that the acknowledged history that belongs to the daylight, that is not the only history. Turn over the stone and you will find another history, wriggling to escape.

About This Quote

I’ve learned that the history that belongs to the daylight is not the only history. Turn over the stone and you will find another history, wriggling to escape. The world is full of stories about the past that are not accepted by the majority. We all know that there are lots of things in our history that do not seem real, but are real to us.

We are sure that this is true in other people’s lives too, however, there are some people who have decided not to listen to them because they make them feel sad or insecure. They believe in their own truth and refuse everything else. But I’m sure that in these last months I have learned that the acknowledged history still belongs to the daylight, but what is in plain sight belongs to another history.
