All over East Africa-indeed, all over Africa-it is normal for people to walk a kilometer or two or six for water. In more arid areas, people walk even greater distances, and sometimes all they find at the end is a pond slimy with overuse.

In some areas the wells are so far below the earth's surface that chains of people are required to pass up the water.

Reading any collection of a man's quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot.
