天生
I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try.
Confidence is not innate, it is cultivated slowly.
Fearless is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. Fearless is living in spite of those things, every day.
I was not born blind, I became blind at the age of 12, but I never felt like a victim.
I was not born blind, I became blind at the age of 12. So I have seen the world and I know what things look like. When I sing about love and pain, joy and sadness, I know what I'm singing about.
"I think children are naturally curious and open to new ideas, and that's something I try to capture in my books."
To die is nothing, but to live defeated and without glory is to die every day.
I am not a political person by nature. I don't think writers should be political persons. But in South Africa, you can't keep politics out of your life.
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
