Studio characters
“Contrary to western myth, the elevated central plateau which covers half of Ethiopia 's surface area that supports the large majority population is quite possibly the most extensive contiguous area of fertile land in the eastern side of Africa.”
“I knew that the English regarded themselves as civilised, but it seemed to me that in many ways Ethiopia was a far more civilised place.”
“Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?”
“Ye who listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy, and pursue with eagerness the phantoms of hope; who expect that age will perform the promises of youth, and that the deficiencies of the present day will be supplied by the morrow; attend to the history of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia.”
“Ethiopia has always held a special place in my own imagination and the prospect of visiting attracted me more strongly than a trip to France, England and America combined. I felt I would be visiting my own genesis, unearthing the roots of what made me an African. Meeting the emperor himself would be like shaking hands with history.”
“Completely! We've wounded and antagonized our natural friends. We've stabbed them in the back and we've shot ourselves in the foot.”
