A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings.

I decided that I wanted nothing to do with South African government television while any of my fellow writers were banned and couldn't speak publicly.

The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.

Humans, the only self-regarding animals, blessed or cursed with this torturing higher faculty, have always wanted to know why.

You can't be afraid to do good in case evil results.

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.

Keenness of hearing revives when one is alone.
