Nelson Mandela Zitate

I came across few whites as a boy at Qunu. The local magistrate, of course, was white, as was the nearest shopkeeper. Occasionally, white travelers or policemen passed through our area. These whites appeared as grand as gods to me, and I was aware that they were to be treated with a mixture of fear and respect.

Ich bin als Junge in Qunu auf wenige Weiße gestoßen. Der örtliche Richter war natürlich weiß wie der nächste Ladenbesitzer. Gelegentlich kamen weiße Reisende oder Polizisten durch unsere Gegend. Diese Weißen erschienen mir so großartig wie Götter, und ich wusste, dass sie mit einer Mischung aus Angst und Respekt behandelt werden sollten.

Folks can't carry around money in their pocket. They've got to go to an ATM machine, and they've got to pay a few dollars to get their own dollars out of the machine. Who ever thought you'd pay cash to get cash? That's where we've gotten to.

I ran for political office in the Hamptons once in a war I was having with the village. I came in, there were four people running, and I came in around third. It was over my food market - they arrested me. I just wanted to go for office because I thought it would be an interesting to do.

Looking back, I can see that the women I loved, at least early on, were status symbols. I suppose, in that sense, I was my mother's true disciple. She'd taught me that a good man, though elusive, could transform one's whole life once he was caught.

Of course, the kids who had never heard of a person called Ben E. King were then aware of the name associated with the song. That gave a tremendous lift to me as an artist.
