Writing it down  (Nadine Gordimer Quotes) From Ernest Hemingway’s stories, I learned to listen within my stories for what went unsaid by my characters.  (Nadine Gordimer Quotes) It’s impossible to conquer all fear and loss by preparation. There are always sources of desolation that aren’t taken into account because no one knows what they will be.  (Nadine Gordimer Quotes) Writing is making sense of life  (Nadine Gordimer Quotes) All worthwhile writing... comes from an individual vision, privately pursued  (Nadine Gordimer Quotes) There’s no tiling moral about beauty  (Nadine Gordimer Quotes) A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings  (Nadine Gordimer Quotes) The creative act is not pure.
