Graca: “Both of us went through very painful experiences. We met each other. We enjoy this relationship with such fulfillment and such plenitude. . . . It’s so sweet and so complete and so natural. We don’t take it for granted. We know what it is to be without. We say to each other, at last we are very lucky people because we could have ended up without being able to share this experience.”

Graca about her relationship with Nelson: “We were both very, very lonely. We both wanted someone you could talk to; someone who’d understand ... It just happened; I can’t explain it. I’m very close to my children so I couldn’t hide it from them. I said, ‘I feel good about seeing Madiba but there’s no question of marriage.’ But it came to the point where for Madiba [Nelson] the only thing that was missing was marriage. When I told my children, they couldn’t believe it. I’d sworn I wouldn’t get married again, but he surprised me. It took a very special person to make me change my mind.”

Nelson about his marriage to Evelyn: "Even before the trial, my marriage to Evelyn had begun to unravel ... A man and a woman who hold such different views of their respective roles in life cannot remain close ... in 1955, she gave me an ultimatum: I had to choose between her and the ANC ... But when I came out of prison, I found that she had moved out and taken the children ... Evelyn and I had irreconcilable differences. I could not give up my life in the struggle, and she could not live with my devotion to something other than herself and the family. She was a very good woman, charming, strong, and faithful, and a fine mother. I never lost my respect and admiration for her, but in the end, we could not make our marriage work."

Nelson: "It was in the lounge of the Sisulus' home that i met Evelyn Mase, my first wife. She was a quiet, pretty girl from the countryside ... I asked Evelyn out very soon after our first meeting. Almost as quickly, we fell in love. Within a few months I had asked to her marry me and she accepted."

Jesse Duarte about Nelson and Winnie: "When he speaks about why the separation took place, it was in the context that he recognized that they had grown apart, to such as extent as individuals, that living together was just impossible ... I think that it was going to be very difficult for them to continue a relationship that hadn't been there for 27 years. He had very fond memories of their early marriage together ... one does get the sense that Madiba and Winnie were friends when they married each other, there was a great deal of loyalty and love. That continued through his incarceration. Because she did visit him. She was his only reference point physically with the rest of the world for a long time. But I think when they finally lived together again, there was just too much of a difference between them."

"Mandela never formally proposed to Winnie. Once he had filed for divorce [from Evelyn], he told her where she could get a wedding dress made and suggested she inform her family of their intentions."
