Additional quotes by Karen Blixen

We must leave our mark on life while we have it in our power.

Когда вы забираете у людей землю, вы лишаете их не только родной земли. Вы отнимаете у них прошлое, обрубаете корни, лишаете их лица. Отнимая у них то, что они привыкли видеть, то, что они ожидают увидеть, вы могли бы заодно, образно говоря, отнять у них и глаза. Это в большей степени относится к примитивням народам, чем к цивилизованным, ведь даже животные стремятся обратно в знакомые места, преодолевая громадные расстояния, пренебрегая опасностями и страданиями, только бы вернуть себе потерянное самосознание, свое лицо.

[Natives] are also on friendly terms with time, and the plan of beguiling or killing it does not come into their heads. In fact the more time you can give them, the happier they are, and if you commission a Kikuyu to hold your horse while you make a visit, you can see by his face that he hopes you will be a long, long time about it. He does not try to pass the time then, but sits down and lives.
