“Solomon's suitors for myrrh and frankincense; Zeu's children in a royal hunt for the seat of the sun-god of the Nile; scouts and emissaries from Genghis Khan; Arab geographers and also hunters for slaves and ivory; soul and gold merchants from Gaul and from Bismark's Germany; land-pirates and human game-hunters from Victorian and Edwardian England: they had all passed here bound for a kingdom of plenty, driven sometimes by holy zeal, sometimes by genuine thirst for knowledge and the quest for the spot where the first man's umbilical cord was buried, but more often by mercenary commercial greed and love of the wanton destruction of those with a slightly different complexion from theirs.”
― Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Petals of Blood

“My dreams fill me and help me eat time.”
― Wilma Stockenström, The Expedition to the Baobab Tree

“Sometimes one controls one's acts; one controls less often one's thoughts; one never controls one's dreams. I had dreams.”
