Solomon Vandy Quotes

I understand White people want our diamonds, yes. But how can my own people do this to each other?

Dia, What are you doing? Dia! Look at me, look at me. What are you doing? You are Dia Vendy, of the proud Mende tribe. You are a good boy who loves soccer and school. Your mother loves you so much. She waits by the fire making plantains, and red palm oil stew with your sister N'Yanda and the new baby. The cows wait for you. And Babu, the wild dog who minds no one but you. I know they made you do bad things, but you are not a bad boy. I am your father who loves you. And you will come home with me and be my son again.

He is my son. I am his father. I must go find him. Go ahead, shoot me if you want, but I will go find him.

I will find you... If it takes my life.
