“Do you know what the luckiest thing is?’
‘No.’
‘It is to be at home everywhere.”
― Ben Okri, The Age of Magic

“I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

“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

“When we’ve been travelling around I’ve often thought: Oh, this would be a good place to be, and that would be an excellent place to live. And yet, after I’ve seen everything I’ve decided that home, wherever that may be, is the place for feelings of peace. And if I can be at peace with myself then that is the most important thing. I think travelling teaches one that.”
― Ben Okri, The Age of Magic
