It's an hour during the week where you can just slow down.

I think one of the most fascinating things you can do after you learn about your own people is to study something about the history and culture of other people.

Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you.

Unless we learn from history, we are destined to repeat it. This is no longer merely an academic exercise, but may contain our worlds fate and our destiny.

Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.

In the bush, trust no one you don't know.

You're always being judged. No matter what you do, it's not the right thing. If you didn't become successful, then you'd be pointed at as one of those creatures down their who didn't take advantage of this or that, who didn't climb and rise and so forth.
