More quotes by J. M. Coetzee
There is nothing to link me with torturers, people who sit waiting like beetles in dark cellars.
But why should people with nowhere to go run away from the nice life we've got here?
Can't you tell the difference between a thin man and a skeleton?
You may also like
To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
