Famous quotes containing the words colonial and/or government:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“... the happiness of a people is the only rational object of government, and the only object for which a people, free to choose, can have a government at all.”
