[the native African inmates are singing a song in the Bantu language, insulting the prison guards. One of the guards caught up with Piet and asks him what they are singing about]

Sgt. Bowmann: What are they singing?

Sgt. Bowmann: We are afraid?

[shouts]
Sgt. Bowmann: We are afraid?

Sgt. Bowmann: You *bastards*.

P.K. Age 7: A month later, war broke out in Europe. This caused me more problems than bed wetting ever had.

Doc: You know, my donkey, Beethoven, once told me a remedy of curing sadness in little boys. Would you like to try it?

[P.K nods]
Doc: Okay, stand up, on this brick wall, stand on one leg, good, now close your eyes, say three times "absoloodle".

P.K. Age 7: Absoloodle, absoloodle, absoloodle.

Doc: Feel better?

[P.K shakes his head]
Doc: No? I guess it proves one thing then.

P.K. Age 7: What's that?

Doc: Never take advice from a donkey.

Doc: To have a brain is not a sin, but to have a brain and not use it, that is a sin.

Geel Piet: Little beat big when little smart. First with the head, then with the heart. You can remember that?

Hoppie Gruenewald: Where did you learn to box like that?

P.K.: Prison, sir.

Hoppie Gruenewald: Are you training to be a boxer or a comedian?

P.K.: If you had the opportunity to get to know me, would you take it?

Maria Marais: Yah, I would.

P.K.: Even if it meant going against your father's orders?

Maria Marais: What do you call this?

Sgt. Botha: I was branded an idiot by everyone I knew.

Gideon Duma: They knew you well.

St. John: History disputes you.

P.K.: History takes too long.

St. John: Yes I know it does, but it's never kind to those who try to hurry it.

Sgt. Bowmann: You can't hide from me forever, Kaffir. Your day will come and it will be as black as your bloody soul. I promise you.

[last lines]
P.K.: I remember my nanny would tell me, that if I listened to the wind, I would hear the voices of my past. I listened, and heard Doc talk about justice, I heard Geel Piet talk about hope, I heard Daboola Manzi, the odd medicine man, talk about courage. I heard Maria. These are the voice of my life, the voices of Africa. These are the voices I carry with me, as Duma and I set out, to bring our country closer to a better tomorrow.

I find Steven Wright quotes funny. Here are a few of them I found online. “Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.” “All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.” “OK, so what's the speed of dark?” “How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?” “Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have.” “My apartment was robbed and everything was replaced with exact replicas...I told my roommate and he said 'Do I know you?'” “Yesterday I told a chicken to cross the road. It said, "What for?"” “I Xeroxed my watch. Now I have time to spare.” “I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.” “I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't know what it it. Every once in a while I'll be listening to the radio and I say, ‘I think I might have written that’.” “I installed a skylight in my apartment...The people who live above me are furious!” “My house is on the median strip of a highway. You don't really notice, except I have to leave the driveway doing 60 MPH.” “I bought a self learning record to learn Spanish. I turned it on and went to sleep; the record got stuck. The next day I could only stutter in Spanish.” “I spilled spot remover on my dog. He's gone now.”

This isn't from that book, but it is a very good quote. Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.**
