Quotes

• “We are seeking our own authenticity, and we will find it because we wish, in the innermost fibers of our being to discover it.”
• “Zaire is the country that has been the most heavily exploited in the world. That is why farms, ranches, plantations, concessions, commerce, and real estate agencies will be turned over to sons of the country.”
• “In a word, everything is for sale, anything can be bought in our country. And in this flow, he who holds the slightest cover of public authority uses it illegally to acquire money, goods, prestige or to avoid obligations. The right to be recognized by a public servant, to have one's children enrolled in school, to obtain medical care, etc. ...are all subject to this tax which, though invisible, is known and expected by all.”
• “If you want to steal, steal a little in a nice way. But if you steal too much to become rich overnight, you'll be caught.”
• “Democracy is not for Africa. There was only one African chief and here in Zaire we must make unity.”
• “We in Zaire spent a lot of time building a strong central state which could resist Soviet aggression quickly and effectively. This enabled us to decisively make the uniform decisions that were necessary to fulfill our national defense obligations and our commitments to the United States.”
