I'm where I need to be, so my heart is light. Whatever happens, I know - I mean, I feel - that this is absolutely where I should be and I've lived up to my own expectations.

I know, in my soul, that to eat a creature who is raised to be eaten, and who never has a chance to be a real being, is unhealthy. It's like...you're just eating misery. You're eating a bitter life.

The Congo is really beautiful. People correct me and say, "Oh, you mean the Democratic Republic of the Congo." Well, fine. But, the land there, the landscape is extraordinary. It's big lakes and beautiful hills and trees.

But it ain't easy, trying to do without God even if you know he ain't there, trying to do without him is a strain

If I'm killed - if I'm removed - there is nowhere else for me to go but to my ancestors.

As long as the Earth can make a spring every year, I can.

Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.
