What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.

Doris Lessing's "The Golden Notebook" blends reality and speculative fiction beautifully. She said, "The only way to deal with the future is to function efficiently in the now." 🪐📚 #SciFi #DorisLessing
Norsklærer på videregående var imponert over at jeg leste Doris Lessing. «Ja jeg liker å lese science fiction» svarte jeg. «Doris Lessing skriver ikke science fiction» sa han 😆
«På festkvelden kom jeg ingen vei med å prøve å overtale min venn eks-marineoffiseren til å kanskje prøve seg på en science fiction-roman, selv om han var glad i å lese.»

… Una rebelde tiene como único premio la vida,
porque de ella nadie se apropia,
en ella nadie la usurpa...
Su rebeldía alcanza siempre
a cobijar el desánimo del progreso
y si de paso una rebelde
tiene la alegría en soledad,
ha vencido al mundo.

Ser rebelde lleva la vida entera,
borrarte los privilegios de la piel,
inscribirte en la soledad del desacuerdo,
dejar atrás a los usurpadores…
No hay premio a una rebelde
más allá de poder regar sus flores…

I often think about this quote from Doris Lessing, and how her actions may have been received in the 1940s (when she left her husband and children), and how they may be received now.
