"Today when I look at Robben Island I see it as a celebration of the struggle and a symbol of the finest qualities of the human spirit, rather than as a monument to the brutal tyranny and oppression of apartheid. It is true that Robben Island was once a place of darkness, but out of that darkness has come a wonderful brightness, a light so powerful that it could not be hidden behind prison walls ... I have attempted to colour the island sketches in ways that reflect the positive light in which I view it." "This is what I would like to share with people around the world ... that even the most fantastic dreams can be achieved if we are prepared to endure life's challenges."
