Wole Soyinka Quotes
Religion is all based on the mentality of "I'm right", but now today it's moved from even the question of "I'm right and I'm willing to tolerate those who agree that I am right or those who don't disturb me anyway".

That is the meaning of the kind of terror which we are witnessing today, that everybody is expendable who do not actually physically line up behind me.
