Quotes by Rwandan Authors

"Never declare Fate your enemy; she does not take lightly declarations of war. Declare your friendship to her instead, and smile in hope of better days."
"Today almost everybody is a writer, the enormous publish button on blogs and websites begs you everywhere to click on it! And bam you are a writer. To hell with agents and publishing houses and rejection letters. Immortality for you is on the click of a mouth! We are advancing at the speed of light! You can become an author at 140 characters. To hell with long winding sentences and long hours of scratching the head, the immortals of today instantly get a "like" and they instantly enter the pantheon! They seat side by side Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, St Paul, Buddha, Martin Luther, Rousseau, Bangambiki."
"I used to give too much importance to reason until I discovered the world was shaped not by reason but by emotion."
"Each mind conceives god in its own way. There may be as many variation of the god figure as there are people in the world."
"Why doesn't the pope convert to Calvinism? Why doesn't the Dalai Lama, convert to Christianity, why doesn't Billy Graham convert to Islam, Why doesn't the Ayatollahs convert to Buddhism, Why isn't Buddhism swept away? Religious leaders know that all religions are equal; they know that no one of them has the monopoly to the knowledge of God. They know that each religion is trying to find the hidden God and that no one religion can claim to have found him beyond doubt. That's why they remain where they are and respect each other."
"You cannot end a theology class without hearing these recurrent words "maybe", "it seems to me", "perhaps", "the unique reason may be that", "my belief on this subject is that", "there are many interpretations to how", etc. All of which indicate a lack of certainty. It's not surprising in a class with the task to study the invisible god."
"When you look down on yourself, you set an example on how others should treat you."

"Friend: A potential enemy with whom relations have not yet deteriorated to all-out war."
"Life has no map; it's made of random events, always caused by something beyond your control."
"My gut instinct is that these heavens and hells exist nowhere else except in our hearts and minds."
"Death is the great incorruptible corruptor."
"There are no laws set in stones, follow your basic instincts, they contain the laws that guide you existence."
"The powerful have no conscience."
"This life is not perfect, live it to the full, it's all we have."
"You can only make magic if you act at the right time when the right conditions are in place."
"There is no difference between ancient and modern paganism. Christianity has five gods: three that band together against one who apparently has managed to stand his ground for millennia, and a mother of god who is worshiped at the same level as the other members of the quadrinity."
"In leadership, the way up is down. Serve before you get served."
"I live nearby a graveyard, that's where I get all my inspiration for wisdom and life."
"I admire the way the Bible defies anybody who wants to nail it on a preferred meaning. There are so many ways to interpret the Bible as there are different opinions about what a certain passage or verse really means. So anybody can go there and read a meaning into (eigesis) whatever passage or verse he wants to suit his inclinations. Proof that the Bible is inspired? It caters for all sorts of people and views."
"Slaves in the past were captured by force, today's slaves surrender themselves. The masters are the same old folk (who are now more civilized) who would not lift a hand against a fellow human being! They have established economic systems that perpetuate their superiority so the poor are blamed either for their laziness or their fate."
"The best way to destroy your enemies is to make them adopt your worldview."
"Some people are bringing the business tricks of scarcity mentality into God's mind. They will tell you that only a few will see God. Why? God's heart is infinitely huge, his arms infinitely large that all of us can have a place in him."
