Alexander McCall Smith
“Everything, all those great things, had happened so far away--or so it seemed to [Mma Ramotswe] at the time. The world was made to sound as if it belonged to other people--to those who lived in distant countries that were so different from Botswana; that was before people had learned to assert that the world was theirs too, that what happened in Botswana was every bit as important, and valuable, as what happened anywhere else.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Double Comfort Safari Club

صلاح جاهين
“ساعات أقوم الصبح قلبى حزين
أطل بره الباب ياخدنى الحنين
اللى لقيته ضاع
واللى اشتريته انباع
واللى قابلته راح وفات الأنين

وارجع واقول
لسه الطيور بتفنّ
والنحلايات بتطنّ
والطفل ضحكه يرنّ
مع ان مش كل البشر فرحانين

حبيبى سكر مر طعم الهوى
فرق ما بيننا البين ماعدناش سوا
حرام عليك يا عذاب
نبقى كده اغراب
ده البعد والله جرح من غير دوا

آدى اللى كان وآدى القدر وآدى المصير
نودع الماضى و حلمه الكبير
نودع الأفراح نودع الأشباح
راح اللى راح ماعدش فاضل كتير

ايه العمل فى الوقت ده يا صديق
غير اننا عندافتراق الطريق
نبص قدامناعلى شمس أحلامنا
نلقاها بتشق السحاب الغميق

وارجع واقول
لسه الطيور بتفنّ
والنحلايات بتطنّ
والطفل ضحكه يرنّ
مع ان مش كل البشر فرحانين”

Chinua Achebe
“...she was sensitive enough and intelligent enough to understand, and her literary education could not but have sharpened her perception of the evidence before her eyes: that in the absurd raffle-draw that apportioned the destinies of post-colonial African societies two people starting off even as identical twins in the morning might quiet easily find themselves in the evening one as President shitting on the heads of the people and the other a nightman carrying the people's shit in buckets on his head.”
Chinua Achebe, Anthills of the Savannah

لطيفة الزيات
“انطلقي ياحبيبتي، صلي كيانك بالآخرين، بالملايين من الآخرين، بالأرض الطيبة أرضنا، وبالشعب الطيب شعبنا.
وستجدين حبا أكبر مني ومنك، حبا كبيرا، حبا جميلا.. حبا لا يستطيع أحد أن يسلبك اياه، حبا تجدين دائما صداه يتردد في الأذن، وينعكس في القلب، ويكبر به الإنسان ويشتد.. حب الوطن وحب الشعب..”
لطيفة الزيات, الباب المفتوح

Edward W. Said
“... the connection between imperial politics and culture is astonishingly direct. American attitudes to American "greatness", to hierarchies of race, to the perils of "other" revolutions (the American revolution being considered unique and somehow unrepeatable anywhere else in the world) have remained constant, have dictated, have obscured, the realities of empire, while apologists for overseas American interests have insisted on American innocence, doing good, fighting for freedom.”
Edward Said
