Famous quotes containing the words colonial and/or intelligence:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“But it is impossible that the creative power should exclude itself. Into every intelligence there is a door which is never closed, through which the creator passes.”
