More From Doris Lessing

I don't know if anyone has noticed but i only ever write about one thing: being alone. the fear of being alone, the desire to not be alone, the attempts we make to find our person, to keep our person, to convince our person to not leave us alone, the joy of being with our person and thus no longer alone, the devastation of being left alone. the need to hear the words: you are not alone.
Writing Joy Desire
And i'll tell you, i've seen the lightning flash. i've heard the thunder roll. i felt sin-breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul. but i heard the voice of jesus saying still to fight on. he promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. no, never alone. he promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.
Jesus Fighting Voice
Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated.
Inspiring Fear Hate
There never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. there are many. these truths challenge each other, recoil from each other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are blind to each other. sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost.
Art Hands Challenges
Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but i can truly say we never felt that. we could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others. but we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together.
Girl Lonely Jealous
We need each other to do things that we can't do for ourselves. if we are intimately connected with each other, we just give things to each other; if we don't know each other we find another way to handle it. if you think about it, each according to his or her abilities and each according to his or her needs is sort of the same thing as supply and demand.
Thinking Giving Needs

I think i have come to a place where i'm able to feel more comfortable about being honest.

I think actual death will be a lot easier than dying on stage. cause - you know - if you do [actual death] right, you can go looking good. maybe with a little quip [like]: 'i loved everybody.' but dying on stage...oh, god!
