      From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz              South African writer and political activist.       Booker Prize 1974 for _The Conservationist_.       Nobel Prize for Literature 1991.              "The only thing I really regret...[is] just to have studied foreign       languages and not learnt an African language. So like most other South       Africans , there I am sitting with my black friends and we're all       talking in English, and then I may go out of the room perhaps to get a       bucket of ice or something and come back...and they have broken into       their own language. They're talking Setswana, they're talking Zulu,       whatever, and I am then a stranger in my own country and among my own       people."              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
