You see, you should learn to say what you mean. Words, little man, are a gift from the Almighty, the Eternal Wisdom. He gave us all a little pinch of his mind and called on us to think. That is why it is folly to misuse words or not to know how to use them well.”

— Njabulo Ndebele

War and conquests in the twenty-first century suddenly look distressingly primitive… We need a new value system for resolving world conflicts.

And that’s our problem. We laugh at everything, just stopping short of seriousness.

My silence was my salvation; the silence of years of trying to say something without much understanding; the silence of desperate action. This would be the first silence that would carry meaning.
