Nadine Gordimer (1923 – 2014)
Gordimer was a South African novelist and short-story writer, who received Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991.
Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.
There is no moral authority like that of sacrifice.
Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you've made sense of one small area.
Nothing factual that I write or say will be as truthful as my fiction.
Your whole life you are really writing one book, which is an attempt to grasp the consciousness of your time and place – a single book written from different stages of your ability.
Time is change; we measure its passing by how much things alter.
Everyone ends up moving alone towards the self.
Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb.
The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.
Books don't need batteries. (Nadine Gordimer)
