Doris Lessing Quotes

Ted Took To Extremes An Attitude We All Had, That Anyone In Any Sort Of Trouble Was Our Responsibility. And Part Of Our Duty Was To Explain To Anyone With Any Kind Of A Spark That Life Was A Glorious Adventure. Looking Back I Should Imagine That Of All The Appallingly Hard Work We Did, The Only Part Of It That Achieved Anything Was This Personal Proselytising. I Doubt Whether Any Of The People We Took On Will Forget The Sheer Exuberance Of Our Conviction In The Gloriousness Of Life, For If We Didn't Have It By Temperament We Had It On Principle.
