Africa/religion

Famous quotes containing the words africa and/or religion:

“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh?

Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)

“... religion can only change when the emotions which fill it are changed; and the religion of personal fear remains nearly at the level of the savage.”
