Geronimo: Frasi in inglese

“I will protect my people if I live. For myself I do not fear for I have the word of Usen.”

On being informed that there were authorizations to kill him while he was a prisoner in San Antonio, prior to news of further instructions to transport him to Florida, as quoted in Geronimo and the End of the Apache Wars (1990), by Charles Leland Sonnichsen, p. 102; "Usen" is the Apache word for God, and "Nantan" their word for a leader, spokesman, or "chief".
Contesto: I will protect my people if I live. For myself I do not fear for I have the word of Usen. Who is the White Nantan to think he can pit his power against that of Usen?

“Once I moved about like the wind. Now I surrender to you and that is all.”

Statement to General George Crook (25 March 1886), as quoted in Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (1970) by Dee Brown

“In the beginning the world was covered with darkness.”

Geronimo's Story of His Life (1907)
Contesto: In the beginning the world was covered with darkness. There was no sun, no day. The perpetual night had no moon or stars.
There were, however, all manner of beasts and birds. Among the beasts were many hideous, nameless monsters, as well as dragons, lions, tigers, wolves, foxes, beavers, rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice, and all manner of creeping things such as lizards and serpents. Mankind could not prosper under such conditions, for the beasts and serpents destroyed all human offspring.
All creatures had the power of speech and were gifted with reason.
