"I've learnt to appreciate the value of solitude, to cherish the quiet moments, and to find comfort in my own company"

"One day I will submit to resting my pen but for now, this is the perfect time to keep writing"

"South Africa has a painful history and we are still yet to witness that repercussions"

"The increase of rape and domestic violence is evident in the men we encounter"

"No one cares about women in this country"

"But history has to be told as we live it. We can’t just sit and watch, someone has to stand up and fight. And in this case it’s me"

"No one in this country can become anything without books."

"We continue to learn about people that oppressed us, how is that still relevant in a democracy?"
