I don't feel I can speak with authority for many other people.

Most people are not really free. They are confined by the niche in the world that they carve out for themselves. They limit themselves to fewer possibilities by the narrowness of their vision.

I'm the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.

The Europeans wanted gold and slaves, like everybody else; but at the same time they wanted statues put up to themselves as people who had done good things for the slaves.

People come and go all the time; the world has always been in movement.
