I do not know how to cook like white women; I do not enjoy white men's foods; and how they eat, how could I know? And why should I know it? - p’Bitek Okot

I don't know how to dance the rumba or samba, as my mother taught me the traditional dances of the Acoli people. I haven't learned the dances of the white people. I won't deceive you; you once saw me participate in the Orak dance, the dance for youths, the dance of our people.

The electric fire kills people: they say it is lightning...

I am proud of the hair with which I was born and as no white woman wishes to do her hair like mine, because she is proud of the hair with which she was born.
