how we stay connected only adding to the rape of the congo
Joseph Conrad quotes:
"Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men."
"The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness."
"The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much."
"The way of even the most jusitifiable revolution is prepared by personal impulses disguised into creeds."
And an excerpt from the article: Congo's Tin Soldiers by Jonathan Miller:
"One hundred years ago, the novelist Joseph Conrad described the colonial plunder of Congo as 'the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the human conscience.'"
