- Nelson Mandela99◆ Last year I built a Courage Machine, but I thought it might be noisy and was too afraid to turn it on. So I coated it with glue, covered it with cat hair, mounted it on my wall, and started claiming it was an exotic animal I killed on a Safari in Africa. I'd like to believe people believe me, on account of it being so strange that it has to be true.
- Jarod Kintz99◆ You know you are truly alive when you're living among lions.
- Karen Blixen99◆ If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?
- Karen Blixen99◆ I have loved no part of the world like this and I have loved no women as I love you. You're my human Africa. I love your smell as I love these smells. I love your dark bush as I love the bush here, you change with the light as this place does, so that one all the time is loving something different and yet the same. I want to spill myself out into you as I want to die here.
- Graham Greene99◆ I feel as though the cardboard box of my own reality has been flattened and blown open. Now I can see the edge of the world.
- Tom Hiddleston99◆ I've never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don't like eating fish. And I know that's very popular out there in Africa.
- Britney Spears99◆ Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that's the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing. Nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him if he gives too much.
- Alan Paton99◆ Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.
- Barry Finlay99◆ They say that somewhere in Africa the elephants have a secret grave where they go to lie down, unburden their wrinkled gray bodies, and soar away, light spirits at the end.
- Robert McCammon99◆ No other continent has endured such an unspeakably bizarre combination of foreign thievery and foreign goodwill.
- Barbara Kingsolver99◆ The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past.
- Barack Obama99◆ Except for the sound of the rain, on the road, on the roofs, on the umbrella, there was absolute silence: only the dying moan of the sirens continued for a moment or two to vibrate within the ear. It seemed to Scobie later that this was the ultimate border he had reached in happiness: being in darkness, alone, with the rain falling, without love or pity.
- Graham Greene99◆ In Kilanga, people knew nothing of things they might have had - a Frigidaire? a washer-dryer combination? Really, they'd sooner imagine a tree that could pull up its feet and go bake bread. It didn't occur to them to feel sorry for themselves.
- Barbara Kingsolver99◆ I don't fancy colors of the face, I'm always attracted to colors of the brain.
- Michael Bassey Johnson99
