One can never know for sure what a deserted area looks like.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners.
I never write about a place I don't know.
My apartment looks like no one lives in it.
It's more of an adventure when you set off into unknown territory, and there's nothing like that feeling you get when you discover a place on the Earth where no one has ever been.
What I was trying to convey there was the kind of waste land that was left after the war. It was a bit like one always thinks of war, you know, stark scenery and no birds, no trees, no leaves, nothing living. And just emptiness.
Where there is no imagination there is no horror.
You can't see all of a place until you look at it from a distance.
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
I never thought I would see a free South Sudan.
That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, the happy highways where I went and cannot come again.
