Quote by Romain Gary

“He was to tell André Malraux later: “Clemeneau used to say: ‘War is a much too serious business to be left to the military.’ And look what happened to Communism when the Communists got hold of it or to the Catholic Church in the hands of the clergy. We are rapidly approaching a point when it will no longer be possible to trust scientists with science.”

“Content is not mere facts, drummed into tender little minds under the relentless pounding of rote learning. Content--even the date of the Quebec Act, Confederation, or the Battle of Vimy Ridge, or the name of the first prime minister-- is cultural capital, a basic requirement of life that every Canadian needs to comprehend the daily newspaper, to watch the TV news or a documentary, or to argue about politics and cast a reasonably informed vote. In an increasingly complex and immediate world, cultural capital must also include some knowledge of Europe, Africa, and Asia, too. Without some factual basis, some understanding of why Afghanis, Bosnians, or Congolese act as they do, Canadians will never make sense of what is happening around them. A knowledge of fact and an understanding of trends form the critical elements of our society's public discourse, and if Canadians do not have cultural capital in common, the fragmentation of our society is inevitable.”

“As Africans, we need to support each other, but we cannot support each other in doing wrong or bad things. We cannot support each other in committing crimes and breaking the law. We need to support each other in doing what is right. We should support each other's businesses, talents, skills, investments, and ideas. We should also offer each other moral support”

“People who judge you will usually never support you. They never put their money where their mouth is. They just like seeing you being miserable. They want you to feel bad which makes them feel good about themselves. Especially if you do something they can never try or are afraid to pull off. When you have something, they can never acquire. They can just wish and dream about it.”

“To lovers out there... It is so sad that people would stage drama in their relationships. They would start a fight for no reason. So, they can be relevant on social media. They want to look the same as other couples who are having bad times in relationships. People who are going through a lot, suffering and being abused in relationships. Being a victim pays off these days and it gives you all the attention, exposure, platform, and sympathy in the world. So many people are sad fishing to gain relevancy, boost or start their career, get publicity, promote their work or themselves, get money for reactions or engagement, or get revenge.”
