3 QUOTES WITH «ERASURE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word erasure.
1
Guy Gavriel Kay

It offers a different route to creating something which will resonate with readers, in a way which resists the erasure of privacy and autonomy which pervades our modern world.

Daniel Libeskind
Only through acknowledgment of the erasure and void of Jewish life can the history of Berlin and Europe have a human future.
