Ben Okri
“A man must be able to hold his drink because drunkenness is sometimes necessary in this difficult life.”
Ben Okri, The Famished Road

Charles Dickens
“There are some upon this earth of yours who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name; who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.”
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Michel Foucault
“What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?”
Michel Foucault

Athol Fugard
“To know nothing about yourself is to be constantly in danger of nothingness, those voids of non-being over which a man walks the tightrope of his life.”
Athol Fugard, Tsotsi

Charles Dickens
“The last trumpet ever to be sounded shall blow even algebra to wreck.”
Charles Dickens, Hard Times
