"I plead for conservation of human culture, which is much more fragile than nature herself. We needn't destroy other cultures with the force of our own"
"We have our own history, our own language, our own culture. But our destiny is also tied up with the destinies of other people - history has made us all South Africans"
"Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future"
