“People die from lack of shared empathy and affinity. By establishing social connectedness, we give hope a chance and the other can become heaven. ( "Le ciel c'est l'autre" )”
Erik Pevernagie

“A people are as healthy and confident as the stories they tell themselves. Sick storytellers can make nations sick.”
Ben Okri

Ben Okri
“Beware of the stories you read or tell; subtly, at night, beneath the waters of consciousness, they are altering your world.”
Ben Okri

Ben Okri
“We must look at ourselves differently. We are freer than we think. We haven't begun to live yet. The man whose light has come on in his head, in his dormant sun, can never be kept down or defeated. We can redream this world and make the dream real. Human beings are gods hidden from ourselves.”
Ben Okri, The Famished Road

Ben Okri
“What if by sheer repetition we become the person we most often pretend to be? Does that mean there is no authentic self? Are we made of habits, compressed by time, like layered rocks?”
Ben Okri, The Age of Magic
