Latent master pieces

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... The unseen things are our master pieces. What would seem like victory would be a defeat. What would seem like defeat would be a victory, an eternal victory of light. -Ben Okri

Poisonous stories

To poison a nation, poison its stories. A demoralised nation tells demoralised stories to itself. -Ben Okri
