Lady Nadira Naipaul:
It is hard to knock a living legend. Only a wife, a lover or a mistress has that privilege. Only they are privy to the intimate man

Winnie Mandela:
…
“This name Mandela is an albatross around the necks of my family,”
…
“You must all realise that Mandela was not the only man who suffered. There were many others, hundreds who languished in prison and died. Many unsung and unknown heroes of the struggle, and there were others in the leadership too, like poor Steve Biko, who died of beatings, horribly alone.”
