The students, who should have been busy taking theirbaths and getting set for lectures, sat idly...discussing the boycottof lectures - Helon Habila

Sometimes poets have to be imperfect so their poetry can be perfect.

I've seen children snatched away from their mothers, never to be reunited. I've seen husbands taken from their wives and kids and sent away to prison. I've seen grown men flogged by soldiers in front of their kids. That's how history is made, and it's our job to witness it.

You must take a year off, one of these days, before you're old and tired and weighed down by responsibility. Go away somewhere, and read. Read all the important books. Educate yourself, then you'll see the world in a different way.
