      To create one’s own world in any of the arts takes courage.

      By peace we mean the capacity to transform conflicts with empathy, without violence and creativity- a never ending process.

      A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

      I’m not a political singer. I don’t know what the word means. People think I consciously decided to tell the world what was happening in South Africa. No! I was singing about my life, and in South Africa we always sang about what was happening to us — especially the things that hurt us.

      • As quoted in Denselow, Robin (16 May 2008)
      Ben Okri
      Ben Okri

      Stories are the secret reservoir of values: change the stories individuals or nations live by and tell themselves, and you change the individuals and nations.
      —Ben Okri, Nobel Prize for Literature

      Dr. Daisaku Ikeda
      Dr. Daisaku Ikeda

      The life and essence of art—whether it be painting, music, or dance—lies in expressing through a wellspring of emotion the universal realm of the human spirit. It is a melding of the individual and the universal. That is why great art reaches out beyond ethnic and national barriers to move people all over the world.

      Arundhati Roy
      Arundhati Roy

      “Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.

      The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.

      Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them.

      Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

      ― Arundhati Roy, War Talk

      “As musicians and artists, it’s important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the industry that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society.” – Lauryn Hill
