Chinua Achebe
“Every generation must recognize and embrace the task it is peculiarly designed by history and by providence to perform.”
Chinua Achebe, There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra

Jim Crace
“Secrets are like pregnancies hereabouts. You can hide them for a while but then they will start screaming.”
Jim Crace, Harvest

Steve Wozniak
“If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it's within your reach. And it'll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build. It'll be worth it, I promise.”
Steve Wozniak

Chinua Achebe
“Some people flinch when you talk about art in the context of the needs of society thinking you are introducing something far too common for a discussion of art. Why should art have a purpose and a use? Art shouldn't be concerned with purpose and reason and need, they say. These are improper. But from the very beginning, it seems to me, stories have indeed been meant to be enjoyed, to appeal to that part of us which enjoys good form and good shape and good sound.”
Chinua Achebe, There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra

Nelson Mandela
“People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite... Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.”
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
