Quotes from Amanda Lindhout

I'm afraid of elevators, because they are an enclosed space, but I get in.

The book is called 'A House in the Sky' because during the very, very darkest times, that was how I survived. I had to find a safe place to go in my mind where there was no violence being done to my body and where I could reflect on the life I had lived and the life that I still wanted to live.

Maintaining my dignity is so important for me.

I have a general sense of excitement about the future, and I don't know what that looks like yet. But it will be whatever I make it.

I'm afraid of the dark, but I choose to sleep in the dark. I can fall right to sleep with the lights on. But I want to be someone who can sleep in the dark, so that's the choice that I make.
