We must take an interest in politics. We must become spies on behalf of justice. - Ben Okri

A people are as healthy and confident as the stories they tell themselves. Sick storytellers can make nations sick.

People who look like human beings are not human beings. Strange people are amongst us. We must be careful. Our lives are changing. Our gods are silent. Our ancestors are silent. A great something is going to come from the sky and change the face of the earth.

Understanding is a pure glass of water. All great truths have no taste. Hints of sweetness are coloured by the need for amazement.
