“You have to be careful to kill a fly that is perched on your scrotum.”
“He feels a second pang now for the existence of perfection, the stubborn existence of perfection in the most vulnerable of things and in the face of his refusal-logical-admirable refusal-to engage with this existence in his heart, in his mind. For the comfortless logic, the curse of clear sight, no matter which string he pulls on the same wretched knot: (a) the futility of seeing given the fatality in a place such as this where a mother still bloody must bury her newborn, hose off, and go home to pound yam into paste; (b) the persistence of beauty, in fragility of all places!, in a dewdrop at daybreak, a thing that will end, and in moments, and in a garden, and in Ghana, lush Ghana, soft Ghana, verdant Ghana, where fragile things die.”
Taiye Selasi, Ghana Must Go“Ghana, a land full of Gold! Africa, a land full of resources!”
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah“Nkrumah declared that we faced neither East nor West but we faced forward. But, see, we can face forward and just look at the horizon. Sometimes, as I think of Ghana, I am tempted to believe that we kept looking East and West and never made up our minds, so we just stood still.”
Nana Awere Damoah“While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of mans humanity to a man.”
Maya Angelou“Every Christmas, all around Ghana, there are tons of these parties and they are full of everything that exists in human life in Ghana and worldwide.”
Taiye Selasi“My cardinal belief is that it is the natives of the land that till the land best, with passion and meaning. The advanced nations of this world built their countries by the sweat of their indigenes.”
Nana Awere Damoah, I Speak of Ghana“It is only by our hands that we can build this continent to the standard that we envy and admire in the advanced countries.”
Nana Awere Damoah, I Speak of Ghana“Don’t cause wealth loss to your generation! Life is too short to be little. You have an impact to make on your generation and the time to start was yesterday.”
Nana Awere Damoah, I Speak of Ghana“Don’t under-rate the scope of your influence in your youth. Don’t think you have all the time to make a difference in this world. Recognize that both brown and green leaves fall to the ground.”
