Quote by Liliana Bodoc

“Porque en un sitio como el barrio de pobres, donde las palabras escacean y se aniquilan, aquel capaz de tratar con ellas, hilvanarlas, hacerlas jugosas, puede ver más allá de su propia desgracia.”

“Otra amiga me dice: —Las mujeres mentales Perdedoras salimos en negocios de amores. Tenemos, ciertamente, muchos adoradores: Buscan pequeños sorbos en caídas vestales. Su corazón lo ponen no en las espirituales, Que fatigan al cabo. Como cultivadores Adoran lo que crean: piensan que las mejores Son aquellas plegadas a sus modos carnales. Las mujeres mentales somos las plataformas: Mejoramos los hombres, y pulimos sus normas, Refinan en nosotras su instinto desatado. Y cuando, ya cansadas de esperar, les pedimos El corazón, en cambio del propio que le dimos, Se lleva la que pasa lo que hemos adorado”

“Acaso se lo lleva la que menos le cuesta. Halló en ella más fácil la vida ya pesada. Todo cerebro activo lleva un alma quebrada Y el hombre, en las mujeres, busca un poco de fiesta. Cuida mejor la casa la mujer que es modesta Y no tiene una vida mental imaginada. Si del hombre que adora se comprende engañada Recibe lo que sobra, y a su lado se acuesta. No por eso posee la mujer, todo entero, Al que, sin ser amante, puede ser compañero; Acaso él también sueña lo mismo que soñamos. Y, sobre el nudo diario de su vida tranquila, Regulada, en su pecho luminoso vigila Un ideal femenino, cuya clase ignoramos.”

“I tell you, life is extraordinary. A few years ago I couldn’t write anything or sell anything, I’d passed the age where you know all the returns are in, I’d had my chance and done my best and failed. And how was I to know the miracle waiting to happen round the corner in late middle age? 84, Charing Cross Road was no best seller, you understand; it didn’t make me rich or famous. It just got me hundreds of letters and phone calls from people I never knew existed; it got me wonderful reviews; it restored a self-confidence and self-esteem I’d lost somewhere along the way, God knows how many years ago. It brought me to England. It changed my life.”

“I still worry about Africa, we are slaves to western and Eastern Brands and we do not cherish and love our own. We are not even in charge of our economies because we depend heavily on what happens in the East or West, Worse-off we still judge each other based on skin color because those from Northern Africa and even some in East Africa believe that they are not Africans and they do not integrate with the darker Africans. For centuries we are still being victimized by other races from other continents, because they despise our dark skin and think that we are lesser than them.. Xenophobia still lingers and some have the cold heart to kill their black African brothers and sisters and yet the people who owe them reparation and economic freedom are originally from the western countries. We still are held captive by our governments , who abuse our resources only to feed their pockets at the expense our crumbling nations. Why should we continue to suffer when we can apply Pan Africanism and Rise above the Western and Eastern Countries, but sadly we do not because we are not united.. Africa must unite to solve its problems, Happy Africa Day”

“There were a few farsighted Europeans who all along saw that the colonial educational system would serve them if and when political independence was regained in Africa. For instance, Pierre Foncin, a founder of the Alliance Francaise, stated at the beginning of this century that "it is necessary to attach the colonies to the metropolis by a very solid psychological bond, against the day when their progressive emancipation ends in a federation as is probable that they be and they remain French in language, thought and spirit.”
