“I would say that it is difficult to forget a language that you learned as a child, even if you learned it by force. A language in which you know all the games, the stories and songs. A language in which you made your first friends and have fond memories. It is possible, but it is difficult. Because at some point you don’t know where to draw the line, where to stop hating and start admitting that it became part of you.”
– from an interview with Moldovan writer Tatiana Tîbuleac by Simona Ilieva in B O D Y’s Winter Issue.
