📚 Alan Paton: Words That Endure Yesterday, we shared a post about Alan Paton, the South African writer, politician, and anti-apartheid activist. Many of his reflections have become timeless quotations, resonating far beyond their historical context. 🖋 Selected quotes: • “[In South Africa] all roads lead to Johannesburg.” • “But sorrow is better than fear. For fear always impoverishes, while sorrow may enrich.” • “What broke in a man that he could bring himself to kill another?” • “To give up the task of reforming society is to give up one’s responsibility as a free person.” • “The tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that things are not mended.” • “It is my belief that the only power which can resist the power of fear is the power of love.” • “When a deep injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive.” • “I envision a future in which South Africa will be a great and peaceful nation, one the world can take pride in, where each of its many communities makes its own creative contribution.” #Literature#Books#Writers#AlanPaton#SouthAfrica#Quotes#History
