‘But African time was not the same as American time … As African time passed, I surmised that the pace of Western countries was insane, that the speed of modern technology accomplished nothing, and that because Africa was going its own way at its own pace for its own reasons; it was a refuge and a resting place.’

– Paul Theroux, American novelist and travel writer
