2 Quotes by Burkinabe authors

Burkinabe sayings carry the dust of the harmattan and the scent of millet porridge, speaking plainly about work, kinship, and the stubborn dignity of everyday life. Humor walks beside severity: a quick quip to unmask vanity, a proverb to steady tempers. Images of calabash, baobab shade, market courtyards, and rainy-season patience shape lessons on solidarity, foresight, and restraint. Voices range from village elders to revolutionary pens, yet the heartbeat is communal, measured like a balafon rhythm, urging responsibility, courage, and quiet perseverance.
