Writing Is Making Sense Of Life.

A Desert Is A Place Without Expectation.

I'm A Candle Flame That Sways In Currents Of Air You Can't See. You Need To Be The One Who Steadies Me To Burn.

Once You Have Some Sort Of Reputation In The Outside World, They Will Try To Woo You. They Will Say, "won't You Come And Be On A Talk Program About Books? That's Not Political." Then They Can Say To The Outside World, "see How Free It Is, She Appears On Television. See How Free It Is." So I Refused To Have Anything Of Mine Read Or Dramatized On South African Television.

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.
