“What holds back many poor countries is the people who live there, including their governments. A society which cannot develop without external gifts is altogether unlikely to do so with them.”
Obianuju Ekeocha, Target Africa: Ideological Neocolonialism in the Twenty-First Century

“[I]t takes so little effort and money to get rid of malaria, to bring in clean water, to give people a chance at an education. When you don't have hope, that's when people start to do weird, horrible, violent things. That's at the bottom of it. It's just a question of prioritizing. The funds are there."

(The Power of One: Belief.net Interview; July 2005)”
Susan Sarandon
