Not just one, but a whole bunch of my favourite qoutations from Doris Lessing:
“Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself.”
“You only learn to be a better writer by actually writing.”
“That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you’ve understood all your life, but in a new way.”
“Trust no friend without faults, and love a woman, but no angel.”
“What is a hero without love for mankind.”
“Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so.”
“With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one – but no one at all – can tell you what to read and when and how.”
