“I tell my students, it's not difficult to identify with somebody like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you.

When you begin to do that then literature is really performing its wonders.”
― Chinua Achebe

“My weapon is literature

“We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.”
