Jason Stearns Quotes

The Congo Is Not Just Blood And Gore. It Also Has An Incandescent, Raw Energy To It, A Dogged Hustle That Can Be Seen In Street-side Hawkers And Besuited Ministers Alike. This Charm Is Not Unlike That Of America's Mythical Wild West, Full Of Gunslingers, Bible-thumpers, Prostitutes, Street Urchins, And Rogue Businessmen. This Is The Paradox Of The Congo: Despite Its Tragic Past, And Probably In Part Due To The Self-reliance And Ingenuity Resulting From State Decay, It Is One Of The Most Alive Places I Know.
- Jason Stearns, Dancing In The Glory Of Monsters
