Quotes
- “It was a fact that if Amadioha has insisted on taking a man’s life, no medicine man could do anything about it...””
- “What hurts one man may benefit another” and “a diseased village is a good village to a medicine man””
- “One thing is clear: I shall marry Ihuoma. She is a human being, and if marrying a woman like her is a fatal mistake, I am prepared to make it. If I am her husband for a day before my death my soul will go singing happily to the spirit world. There also I shall be prepared to dare the wrath of four hundred Sea Kings for her sake.”
- “Ihuoma is the sea-king’s main interest and her male admires are victims of circumstance and of their own misdeeds””
- “No one wanted to betray his admiration. There was silence for a time.”
- “He reconciles himself to these forces and treats them with reverence and dignity. He believes that his every action is guided and directed by spirits””
