Marriage

More quotes by Marlene van Niekerk

Everything is important. To the smallest insect, even the mouldering tree, the deepest stone in the drift.

A butterfly is like the soul of a person, it dries out in captivity.

A writer is someone who spends years patiently trying to discover the second being inside him.

Nobody can be so beautiful from the outside and so hollow from inside. Not even in a third-rate novel.

After all the years, after everything that you'd had to endure, after everything that you'd undertaken, however good or bad, long after you'd given up all hope, the reward.
