Quotes By Author: Nadine Gordimer

“Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you’ve made sense of one small area.”

“What is the purpose of writing? For me personally, it is really to explain the mystery of life, and the mystery of life includes, of course, the personal, the political, the forces that make us what we are while there’s another force from inside battling to make us something else.”

“Nothing factual that I write or say will be as truthful as my fiction.”

“The truth isn’t always beauty, but the hunger for it is.”
