Jomo Kenyatta1 quote
The African is conditioned, by the cultural and social institutions of centuries, to a freedom of which Europe has little conception, and it is not in his nature to accept serfdom for ever. He realizes that he must fight unceasingly for his own emancipation; for without this he is doomed to remain the prey of rival imperialisms. — Jomo Kenyatta · 1938Muhammad Ali1 quote

There is always something new out of Africa. — Pliny the Elder · 77
