This collection holds 1,000 african quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Teresa Heinz, Brenda Fassie and Albert Murray.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.
