More quotes by Jean-Baptiste Alaize

My brother [Julien] is a Hutu and he also suffered in a different way.

Three hours later, at 8pm, they came back. We heard lots of shouting and screaming and saw houses on fire and people everywhere. Suddenly they were doing what they said they’d do, killing everyone.

I was not a normal child. I was traumatised from the war, I had had no mother’s love, I didn’t always behave well. But my parents gave me everything I had lost: love and self-confidence.

My leg injury was too severe; I had to have it amputated.

A handicap is something that stops you from doing what you want… but not me. I’m not handicapped. Everything is OK for me, because I feel good in my head.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
