"The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is." "A writer is selected by his subject – his subject is the consciousness of his own era." "Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you've made sense of one small area." Nadine Gordimer's writing was celebrated for its moral intensity and its unflinching examination of the human condition under apartheid.
