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."
- "Politics is the art of the possible; creativity is the art of the impossible."
- "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."
