“We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.”
Arthur O'Shaughnessy, Poems of Arthur O'Shaughnessy

Ben Okri
“Without stories we would go mad. Life would lose its moorings or lose its orientations. even in silence we are living our stories”
Ben Okri, Birds of Heaven

Naomi Shihab Nye
“I love the solitude of reading. I love the deep dive into someone else's story, the delicious ache of a last page.”
Naomi Shihab Nye

Mario Vargas Llosa
“‎Reading good literature is an experience of pleasure...but it is also an experience of learning what and how we are, in our human integrity and our human imperfection, with our actions, our dreams, and our ghosts, alone and in relationships that link us to others, in our public image and in the secret recesses of our consciousness.”
Mario Vargas Llosa
