Quote preview background for Vasily Grossman
When you were a child, you used to run to me for protection. Now, in moments of weakness, I want to hide my head on your knees; I want you to be strong and wise; I want you to protect and defend me. I'm not always strong in spirit, Vitya _ I can be weak too. I often think about suicide, but something holds me back _ some weakness, or strength, or irrational hope.
