Jamaica Kincaid

Jamaica Kincaid, A Small Place

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela

Mohammed Zaki Ansari
“Terrorism is not a policy of any religion.
Terrorism is a policy of weapon's business and politics”
Mohammed Zaki Ansari, "Zaki's Gift Of Love"

Jamaica Kincaid
“Have you ever wondered to yourself why it is that all people like me seem to have learned from you is how to imprison and murder each other, how to govern badly, and how to take the wealth of our country and place it in Swiss bank accounts? Have you ever wondered why it is that all we seem to have learned from you is how to corrupt our societies and how to be tyrants? You will have to accept that this is mostly your fault. Let me just show you how you looked to us. You came. You took things that were not yours, and you did not even, for appearances’ sake, ask first”
Jamaica Kincaid, A Small Place

Jamaica Kincaid
“Do you know why people like me are shy about being capitalists? Well, its because we, for as long as we have known you, were capital, like bales of cotton and sacks of sugar, and you were commanding, cruel capitalists, and the memory of this so strong, the experience so recent, that we can't quite bring ourselves to embrace this idea that you think so much of.”
Jamaica Kincaid, A Small Place
