Read his 12 of his most famous quotes. Lets celebrate him.
1. Writing in certain environments carries with
it an occupational risk.
2. I don’t know any other way to live but to
wake up everyday armed with my
convictions, not yielding them to the threat
of danger and to the power and force of
people who might despise me.
3. Under a dictatorship, a nation ceases to
exist; all that remains is a fiefdom, a planet
of slaves regimented by aliens from outer
space.
4. The greatest threat to freedom is the
absence of criticisms.
5. I cannot belong to a nation which permits
such barbarities as stoning to death and
amputation – I don’t care what religion it is.
6. I’m against liquor, completely against liquor.
Wine is not liquor, a good brandy is not
liquor, single malt whiskey is not liquor,
palm wine is not liquor. All the rest is liquor.
7. The hand that dips into the bottom of the
pot will eat the biggest snail.
8. A tiger does not proclaim its tigritude, it
pounces.
9. Being the first black Nobel laureate, and the
first African, the African world considered
me personal property. I lost the remaining
shreds of my anonymity, even to walk a few
yards in London, Paris or Frankfurt without
being stopped.
10. You are not a complete human being if you
are not educated, schooled or cultured.
11. Don’t take shadows too seriously; reality is
our only safety; continue to reject illusions.
12. Human life has meaning only to that degree
and as long as it is lived in the service of
humanity.
Happy Birthday...
