The continent is too large to describe. It is a veritable ocean, a separate planet, a varied, immensely rich cosmos. Only with the greatest simplification, for the sake of convenience, can we say 'Africa'. In reality, except as a geographical appellation, Africa does not exist.

Kusiło mnie, żeby zobaczyć, co jest dalej, po drugiej stronie. Zastanawiałem się, co się przeżywa, przechodząc granicę. Co się czuje? Co myśli? Musi to być moment wielkiej emocji, poruszenia, napięcia. Po tamtej stronie - jak jest? Na pewno - inaczej. Ale co znaczy to - inaczej? Jaki ma wygląd? Do czego jest podobne? A może jest niepodobne do niczego, co znam, a tym samym niepojęte, niewyobrażalne.

Incluso la peor de las situaciones, si en tal nos hallamos, se descompone en elementos simples entre los cuales habrá algunos a los que asirse, como las ramas de un arbusto que creciese en la costa, para oponer resistencia a los remolinos que nos tiran hacia el fondo. Esa grieta, ese islote y esa rama nos mantienen en la superficie de la existencia.

Tôi đến Kumasi không mục đích. Nhìn chung người ta cho rằng có mục đích rõ ràng là tốt, vì khi ấy con người muốn điều gì đó và vươn tới điều gì đó. Nhưng mặc khác, điều ấy sẽ che bớt mắt anh ta: anh ta chỉ nhìn thấy mục đích của mình, không còn gì hơn. Trong khi đó cái "hơn" ấy - rộng hơn, sâu hơn - có thể lại thú vị và quan trọng hơn hẳn. Bước vào thế giới khác là bước vào một điều bí ẩn mà nó thì có thể giấu trong mình biết bao mê cung và ngõ ngách, bao nhiêu câu đố và những điều chưa biết!
Ryszard KapuścińskiOil kindles extraordinary emotions and hopes, since oil is above all a great temptation. It is the temptation of ease, wealth, strength, fortune, power. It is a filthy, foul-smelling liquid that squirts obligingly up into the air and falls back to earth as a rustling shower of money.
Ryszard KapuścińskiOil creates the illusion of a completely changed life, life without work, life for free. Oil is a resource that anaesthetises thought, blurs vision, corrupts.

A całą tę sprawę, tak spokojnie i godnie poprowadzoną, minister uznał za sukces, zaś nasza prasa określiła jako zwycięstwo. Tak zawsze jakoś minister kierował, że wszystko na sukces wychodziło i dobrze było, a baliśmy się, że gdyby ministra onego nie stało, wnet by smętkiem powiało, co się potem sprawdziło, kiedy nam go ubyło.

Such people, while useful, even agreeable, to others, are, if truth be told, frequently unhappy–lonely in fact. Yes, they seek out others, and it may even seem to them that in a certain country or city they have managed to find true kinship and fellowship, having come to know and learn about a people; but they wake up one day and suddenly feel that nothing actually binds them to these people, that they can leave here at once. They realize that another country, some other people, have now beguiled them, and that yesterday’s most riveting event now pales and loses all meaning and significance. For all intents and purposes, they do not grow attached to anything, do not put down deep roots. Their empathy is sincere, but superficial. If asked which of the countries they have visited they like best, they are embarrassed–they do not know how to answer. Which one? In a certain sense–all of them. There is something compelling about each. To which country would they like to return once more? Again, embarrassment–they had never asked themselves such a question. The one certainty is that they would like to be back on the road, going somewhere. To be on their way again–that is the dream.
