The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa – for he has so much to look forward to.

Africa is our center of gravity, our cultural and spiritual mother and father, our beating heart, no matter where we live on the face of this earth.

I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.

I am not African because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me.

Africa has her mysteries and even a wise man cannot understand them. But a wise man respects them.
