Wole Soyinka Zitate

There is only one home to the life of a river-mussel; there is only one home to the life of a tortoise; there is only one shell to the soul of man: there is only one world to the spirit of our race. If that world leaves its course and smashes on boulders of the great void, whose world will give us shelter?

Deutsche Übersetzung

Es gibt nur eine Heimat für das Leben einer Flussmuschel; Es gibt nur eine Heimat für das Leben einer Schildkröte. Es gibt nur eine Hülle für die Seele des Menschen: Es gibt nur eine Welt für den Geist unserer Rasse. Wenn diese Welt ihren Lauf verlässt und auf Felsbrocken der großen Leere zertrümmert, wessen Welt wird uns Schutz geben?

Joseph Prince

Very few of us have our special listening room where we close off the rest of the world and only hear the music. As musicians or as listeners, we're generally interacting with music wherever we are, whether we're on a train or on the street.

Jason Moran

We have a world minus a whole lot of talent that has stepped out of contention for leadership, only because they don't want to seem too aggressive, too smart, unattractive, or too male.

Abigail Disney

We do not wish to enter Heaven until our work is done, for it would make us uneasy if there were one single soul left to be saved by our means.

Charles Spurgeon

Suffering makes a people greater, and we have suffered much. We had a message to give the world, but we were overwhelmed, and the message was cut off in the middle. In time there will be millions of us - becoming stronger and stronger - and we will complete the message.

David Ben-Gurion

I'm voting for Gore because the other is unthinkable. Which most of us will probably do. I hope all of us. I've always liked Ralph Nader and would like to see a real third party, but the thought of George Bush as president is unthinkable.
