'Gikuyu once said: the leopard did not know how to scratch; it was taught. True, but it always had the claws and the power to scratch. Does it scratch to kill its children? Or does it scratch to kill its enemies?' 'One thing is certain. What is done cannot be undone. Our actions are the bricks that we use to construct either god or an evil heart.' - Ngugi wa Thiong'o ( from Devil on the Cross, 1980) The Atlantic Ocean and lunch accounts open, we're not without. You've had some taste, this        What and surpass

[A] specific culture is not transmitted through language in its universality, but in its particularity as the language of a specific community with a specific history. Written literature and orature are the main means by which a particular language transmits the images of the world contained in the culture it carries. Language as communication and as culture are then products of each other. . . . Language carries culture, and culture carries, particularly through orature and literature, the entire body of values by which we perceive ourselves and our place in the world. . . . Language is thus inseparable from ourselves as a community of human beings with a specific form and character, a specific history, a specific relationship to the world. - Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Decolonizing the Mind
