J.M. Coetzee Quotes

To The Last We Will Have Learned Nothing. In All Of Us, Deep Down, There Seems To Be Something Granite And Unteachable. No One Truly Believes, Despite The Hysteria In The Streets, That The World Of Tranquil Certainties We Were Born Into Is About To Be Extinguished. No One Can Accept That An Imperial Has Been Annihilated By Men With Bows And Arrows And Rusty Old Guns Who Live In Tents And Never Wash And Cannot Read Or Write. And Who Am I To Jeer At Life-giving Illusions? Is There Any Better Way To Pass These Last Days Than In Dreaming Of A Saviour With A Sword Who Will Scatter The Enemy Hosts And Forgive Us The Errors That Have Been Committed By Others In Our Name And Grant Us A Second Chance To Build Our Earthly Paradise?
