Alan Paton Quotes

They Stopped At One Of These Half-tank Houses ... Where They Were Greeted By A Young Girl, Who Herself Seemed Like No More Than A Child.
- We Have Come To Enquire After Absalom ... Have You Heard Nothing From Him?
Nothing, She Said.
When Will He Return? He Asked.
I Do Not Know, She Said.
Will He Ever Return? He Asked, Indifferently, Carelessly.
I Do Not Know She Said. She Said It Tonelessly, Hopelessly, As One Who Is Used To Waiting, To Desertion. She Said It As One Who Expects Nothing From Her Seventy Years Upon The Earth. No Rebellion Will Come Out Of Her, No Demands, No Fierceness. Nothing Will Come Out Of Her At All Save The Children Of Men Who Will Use Her, Leave Her, Forget Her.
