Famous quotes containing the words living and/or areas:
“For I thought of her grave below the hill,
Which the sentinel cypress tree stands over,
And I thought, Were she only living still,
How I could forgive her, and love her!”

“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we dont knowNigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novelthe quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
