Chinua Achebe Zitate

The last four or five hundred years of European contact with Africa produced a body of literature that presented Africa in a very bad light and Africans in very lurid terms. The reason for this had to do with the need to justify the slave trade and slavery.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Die letzten vier oder fünfhundert Jahre des europäischen Kontakts mit Afrika haben eine Literatur hervorgebracht, die Afrika in einem sehr schlechten Licht und Afrikaner in sehr grellem Licht zeigt. Der Grund dafür lag in der Notwendigkeit, den Sklavenhandel und die Sklaverei zu rechtfertigen.

Before the operation on my left hand I wasn't able to stretch my fingers open all the way. I've never had very big hands, but I could do the splits with them. Eventually I couldn't any more. I had a twisted tendon in my little finger that prevented me from being able to stretch.

If you're a wounded company, the other companies that have been around for a hundred years will smell it, and they will take advantage of you in a heartbeat. It takes a long time to get back in fighting form.

It started last year, during the summer. I went to the doctor and they found out it was kidney stones, so they had surgery done to help get those out and to pass them... More just kept coming in. So I had all together before the last show... I had like five surgeries.
