I know what is going on in the heart of an atheist. Deep anguish that there is nothing beyond, nothing to live for, nothing to give him hope. I know because I endured the same predicament.
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
After losing faith, even an atheist feels a yawning void in his soul that needs filling; there is nothing imaginable that he can fill with it. It was all along meant to be filled with the sacred, with the unknown and unknowable power. That's the curse or blessing of humanity
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Did you know you could destroy dragons? Dragons are not actually real, they just roar to scare you away from your goals. In fact they are afraid of determined heroes, they take flight at their approach
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Even if everybody says it’s impossible, with determination, there is always something you can do. The last thing is to give up without trying.
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Success in life is not for those who run fast, but for those who keep running and always on the move.

Break your shackles and reach out to your freedom. Break to pieces whatever indoctrination and programming that holds you hostage. The world is yours. Get possession of it.

What is life but an ongoing war?
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Life is a dream. We wake up when we die
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Every revolution starts with the aim to help the poor, but when the poor get it they forget who they were and become the new oppressors. The cycle goes on forever
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Let no one ever intimidate you, you are standing on no one's ground. But again, some have claimed the earth as their own and usurped power from the rest of us. But they are usurpers; power belongs to every one of us. Seek it as much as possible. There is no shame in that. In fact it's a necessity. Either you have power or you are trampled to death in the stampede to get to the top
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
I think this business of good vs. evil is of no interest to the power hungry
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
If you are my food, how am I supposed to feel pity towards you? That would mean starvation for me. “A hungry leopard told a fallen, panting, imploring gazelle
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
The universe runs on the principle that one who can exert the most evil on other creatures runs the show.
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Life is politics, you do it or it does you
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
In politics what you see is not what you get
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Once you are in power, never forget those who put you there. Deal with those who think they can do better than you and those who think you are god's representative on earth. Deal with each other according to his actions
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Power hungry=life loving
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Politicians know it's a game of power, every politician at every level, even in the common of mortals.

The Golden Mean is for the weakling, it was not meant for the likes of Alexander the Great, Cyrus, Pharaohs, or Hitlers of the world
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Nothing is sweeter and addictive than power, the unlucky soul this demon possesses, if he is not sacrificed on its altar will sacrifice others himself to get it
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
If anyone rises to power, it's not only because he could, but also because the stars were aligned in his favor. Many with apparent means to take it failed simply because they weren't destined for the honor
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Powerless=lifeless.
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Can anyone maintain power without lying? It looks to me like living without breathing. Morality apart, I think some evils are part and parcel of nature and we cannot do without them. Sometimes evil is even necessary to run this evil nature.
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
It's unfortunate to be bitten by political ambition. The deadly disease causes a man to want to access power by all means either by sacrificing others to its altar or by sacrificing himself when he fails.
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
I used to be afraid about what people might say or think after reading what I had written. I am not afraid anymore, because when I write, I am not trying to prove anything to anyone, I am just expressing myself and my opinions. It’s ok if my opinions are different from those of the reader, each of us can have his own opinions. So writing is like talking, if you are afraid of writing, you may end up being afraid of talking
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
I am not a supporter of burning books; but like poison, some books should be kept away from simple minds who can't take in the strong content they provide
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
One author said I write because I want to live a footprint in the sands of history.” It's hard to live a footprint in the sands of history when giants are passing through the same sands unless you are one of the giants
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Fate does not expect to be fought and will reward those who dare to fight against it.
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Don't fear mistakes, they are your stepping stone to success
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Family is the only why of life
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
In order to protect their good names for posterity, many writers never wrote what they thought or the truth as it stood. That's why truth still lies hidden in matters of power, sex and religion. No wonder they chose to do so, many who dared paid with their heads
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
The powerful are like a compressor, they will grind into paste everything on their way
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
It's not that success is guaranteed that we go to war. It's because it is the only alternative we have left to avoid annihilation
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
When you believe it, you've created it, whatever it is
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Keep running; keep dreaming, keep alive the flame of hope; defeat and despair will not catch up with you
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
The reason you don't succeed in life is because you are too lenient with your deadly enemies. Identify them and eradicate them completely, don't let any of their seed escape your vengeful sword. Don't negotiate with the enemy and never make deals with them. Only after you have wiped them out of the map will success smile at you
~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
