Famous sayings by Dr Lenrie Peters It seems to me lunacy that we should expect (or believe in their pledges) that the United States, Britain, France or the U.S.S.R. should genuinely want to help us achieve economic parity or political equality. Not even if all the Messiahs were to come down and implore them. And why should they? (Présence Africaine 1980: 54) If, over the millennia, out of this human cradle in
Central-Southern Africa evolved the great human civilizations — Chinese,
Indian, Byzantine, Mediterranean, European and now the techno-European — what
mutation, what aberration has connived to leave the black race out of this
grand reckoning ? ((Présence Africaine 1980: 53) The cobra spits first to allow itself time to strike at chaos. Is it too much to hope that Africa, while raging with contempt, has the healing balm closely following? ((Présence Africaine N°117/118 1978: 167) |
