Additional quotes by Doris Lessing

Novels give you the matrix of emotions, give you the flavour of a time in a way formal history cannot.

I do not think writers ought ever to sit down and think they must write about some cause, or theme... If they write about their own experiences, something true is going to emerge.

The world is only tolerable because of the empty places in it...when the world's filled up, we'll have to get hold of a star. Any star. Venus, or Mars. Get hold of it and leave it empty. Man needs an empty space somewhere for his spirit to rest in.

Yes, cannibals. People are just cannibals unless they leave each other alone. - Doris Lessing
