Outnumber Quotes

“I stared high at the clouds, casting shadows across that untouched orchard. Without blinking, I told the Crocodile:
“Whenever I try to shape my world, I end up destroying it.”

He turned my chin, so I met his gaze - which had grown uncharacteristically soft - and said:
“That is a lie told to subdue slaves, who outnumber their masters. It is the lie on which every empire is built.”
― Jordan Ifueko, The Maid and the Crocodile
