I've got two for my 'Depths of Deception' book:
"Parents kept children cosseted in a gullible, naïve state, unprepared for the complex brutality of the adult world awaiting them. Instead of this being seen as child abuse, likely to cripple the future adult, 'innocence' was regarded as a valuable quasi-spiritual state in which to imprison ones child for as long as humanly possible."
and
"It was peculiar: the people who didn't know how to grow food or even survive unassisted were always the ones telling Africans, who could do these things, how they should be living."
