“I think I'm Swedish because I like to live here on this island. You can't imagine the loneliness and isolation in this country. In that way, I'm very Swedish - I don't dislike to be alone.” ThinkingWayCountryImagineLonelinessIslandsIsolationDislikeSwedish Book:Ingmar Bergman: Interviews Source: Ingmar Bergman: Interviews
“One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality - Ubuntu - you are known for your generosity. We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole World. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.” ThinkingWorldHumansWellsCountryWholeFactsHumanityIndividualSpeakHuman BeingsQualityKnownEssenceSpreadConnectedWhole WorldOur CountryGenerosityIsolationBeing HumanUbuntuInterconnectednessYour Generosity Author:Desmond Tutu
