J.M. Coetzee Quotes

A Risk To Own Anything: A Car, A Pair Of Shoes, A Packet Of Cigarettes. Not Enough To Go Around, Not Enough Cars, Shoes, Cigarettes. Too Many People, Too Few Things. What There Is Must Go Into Circulation, So That Everyone Can Have A Chance To Be Happy For A Day. That Is The Theory; Hold To The Theory And To The Comforts Of Theory. Not Human Evil, Just A Vast Circulatory System, To Whose Workings Pity And Terror Are Irrelevant. That Is How One Must See Life In This Country: In Its Schematic Aspect. Otherwise One Could Go Mad. Cars, Shoes; Women Too. There Must Be Some Niche In The System For Women And What Happens To Them.
