More From Ben Okri
- "Don’t despair too much if you see beautiful things destroyed, if you see them perish. Because the best things are always growing in secret."
- "I’m conscious of a series of circles working its way through my life. And at this particular moment I have come round to the beginning of my writing cycle. It begins with poetry. There’s hardly a day that goes past on which I don’t write poetry."
- "Magic becomes art when it has nothing to hide."
More In Beauty

- "The beauty of it is when you can just show up and hit the notes."― John Lone
- "I felt Joyce was an influence on my fiction, but in a very general way, as a kind of inspiration and a model for the beauty of language."― Don DeLillo
