More quotes by Amadou Hampate Ba
Writing is one thing and knowledge is another. Writing is the photographing of knowledge, but it is not knowledge itself. Knowledge is a light which is within man. It is the heritage of all the ancestors knew and have transmitted to us as seed, just as the mature baobab is contained in its seed.
Amadou Hampate Ba
Every old man that dies is a library that burns.
Amadou Hampate Ba
