You cannot plant greatness as you plant yams or maize. Who ever planted an iroko tree - the greatest tree in the forest?

Chinua Achebe

At best Americans give but limited attention to history. Too much happens too rapidly, and before we can evaluate it, or exhaust its meaning or pleasure, there is something new to concern us.

Piet Mondrian
