" ... while sex without love could have it's thrills and satisfactions, sex without soul was like salad without dressing - a bowl of roughage fit for cattle and goats."

QUOTEZZZ
"The door to novelty is always slightly ajar: many pass it by with barely a glance, some peek inside but choose not to enter, others dash in and dash out again; while a few, drawn by curiousity, boredom, rebellion, or circumstance, venture in so deep or wander around in there so long that they can never find their way back out."

COETZEE
" HE HAD NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE A GOOD WORD TO SAY FOR WAR, BUT HERE IN HIS HOSPITAL BED, CONSUMING TIME AND BEING CONSUMED, HE SEEMS TO BE REVISING HIS OPINIONS. IN THE RAZING OF CITIES, THE PILLAGE OF TREASURE, THE SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS, IN ALL THAT RECKLESS, HE BEGINS TO DETECT A CERTAIN WISDOM, AS THOUGH HISTORY KNOWS WHAT IT'S DOING. DOWN WITH THE OLD, MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW !
