More From Doris Lessing
- "What society doesn’t realize is that in the past, ordinary people respected learning. They respected books, and they don’t now, or not very much. That whole respect for serious literature and learning has disappeared."
- "The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven’t changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don’t change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion."
- "Our society is dependent on some precarious mechanisms, and they are very dicey. They can easily collapse."
