Chinua Achebe
“Oh, the most important thing about myself is that my life has been full of changes. Therefore, when I observe the world, I don’t expect to see it just like I was seeing the fellow who lives in the next room. There is this complexity which seems to me to be part of the meaning of existence and everything we value.”
Chinua Achebe

Chinua Achebe
“...Let me say that I do think decency and civilization would insist that the writer take sides with the powerless. Clearly, there's no moral obligation to write in any particular way. But there is a moral obligation, I think, not to ally oneself with power against the powerless. I think an artist, in my definition of that word, would not be someone who takes sides with the emperor against his powerless subjects.”
Chinua Achebe

“You can't process me with a normal brain.”

Dante Alighieri
“The day that man allows true love to appear, those things which are well made will fall into cofusion and will overturn everything we believe to be right and true.”

“Charity . . . is the opium of the privileged.”
Chinua Achebe, Anthills of the Savannah
