• My own view is simply that there are some very basic rules; very simple rules that apply to all writing in a way, which is: don't lie; if you're wrong, correct; do not misrepresent; and try and keep oneself intellectually honest - which means, as a writer, the very difficult task in public of admitting you were wrong.

• One has to choose between engaging in stylistic research or the mere recording of facts. I feel that a filmmaker must go beyond the recording of facts. Moreover, I believe that Africans, in particular, must reinvent cinema. It will be a difficult task because our viewing audience is used to a specific film language, but a choice has to be made: either one is very popular and one talks to people in a simple and plain manner, or else one searches for an African film language that would exclude chattering and focus more on how to make use of visuals and sounds.

• Lo más difícil de escribir un libro no es idear una trama que cautive al lector. No es desarrollar personajes por los que el lector sienta algo o algo en contra. No es encontrar un escenario que lleve al lector a un lugar en el que nunca ha estado. No es la investigación, ya sea en ficción o en no ficción. La tarea más difícil a la que se enfrenta un escritor es encontrar la voz con la que contar la historia.

• Any one may mouth out a passage with a theatrical cadence, or get upon stilts to tell his thoughts; but to write or speak with propriety and simplicity is a more difficult task. Thus it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as big as the thing you want to express; it is not so easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it.

• Los hombres más espirituales, como los más fuertes, encuentran su felicidad donde otros encontrarían su destrucción: en el laberinto, en la dureza contra sí mismos y contra los demás, en los experimentos. Su alegría es la autoconquista: el ascetismo se convierte en ellos en naturaleza, necesidad e instinto. Las tareas difíciles son un privilegio para ellos; jugar con cargas que aplastan a otros, un recreo. El conocimiento, una forma de ascetismo. Son el tipo de hombre más venerable: eso no impide que sean los más alegres y los más bondadosos.
