György (George) Konrád (2 April 1933 – 13 September 2019)[1] was a Hungarian novelist, pundit, essayist and sociologist known as an advocate of individual freedom.[2] (wikipedia)
I believe that it is my job not only to write books but to have them published. A book is like a child. You have to defend the life of a child.
You take a number of small steps which you believe are right, thinking maybe tomorrow somebody will treat this as a dangerous provocation. And then you wait. If there is no reaction, you take another step: courage is only an accumulation of small steps.
