Ayi Kwei Armah Quotes

True, I Used To See A Lot Of Hope. I Saw Men Tear Down The Veils Behind Which The Truth Had Been Hidden. But Then The Same Men, When They Have Power In Their Hands At Last, Began To Find The Veils Useful. They Made Many More. Life Has Not Changed. Only Some People Have Been Growing, Becoming Different, That Is All. After A Youth Spent Fighting The White Man, Why Should Not The President Discover As He Grows Older That His Real Desire Has Been To Be Like The White Governor Himself, To Live Above All The Blackness In The Big Old Slave Castle?
