On September 11, people were shaken, but they quickly calmed down. There was a flash of awareness, which lasted a few fractions of a second. People could feel that something was happening. Then a blanket of silence covered up the crack in our certainty of safety.

Am 11. September wurden die Menschen erschüttert, aber sie beruhigten sich schnell. Es gab ein Aufblitzen von Bewusstsein, das einige Sekundenbruchteile dauerte. Die Menschen spürten, dass etwas geschah. Dann überdeckte eine Decke der Stille den Riss in unserer Sicherheit.

People looked back and nobody could find anything that predated it.

Around '62 in Baltimore, all the girls had those big hairdos. And then suddenly, a few of the really hip ones started doing their hair straight. And people panicked. And it was called going 'Joe,' meaning Joe College. And people would say, 'I don't know. Should I be 'Joe'? I can't decide.'

Many people who did not die right away came down with nausea, headache, diarrhea, malaise, and fever, which lasted several days. Doctors could not be certain whether some of these symptoms were the result of radiation or nervous shock.

I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long, people would rip up my business card in my face. It's a humbling business to be in. But I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I cut the feet out of those pantyhose and I knew I was on to something. This was it.

I live for my work, apart from my family who come first. And I live to tell stories and pretend to be other people, it's something I've been doing since I was 3 years old. Maybe it's because I'm intrinsically bored with myself, and I find other people more interesting.

Jacki Weaver

As far back as I can remember, I knew there was something wrong with our way of life when people could be mistreated because of the color of their skin.
