More quotes by Thando Mgqolozana

I remain proud of all my previous work, but my favourite is always the one I’m writing, which I won’t talk about just yet.

There was silence.And just for the record, I won't leave my home in the care of a man who is not a man.

I have been lying to myself thinking that I know a man when I see one. And all those giant men who taught me what it is to be a man are also liars. Either that or you are a liar. You be the judge.
