People like you

Only those who truly love and who are truly strong can sustain their lives as a dream. You dwell in your own enchantment. Life throws stones at you, but your love and your dream change those stones into the flowers of discovery.
Even if you lose, or are defeated by things, your triumph will always be exemplary. And if no one knows it, then there are places that do. People like you enrich the dreams of the worlds, and it is dreams that create history. People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love.”

Ben Okri. Nigerian author who uses magic realism to convey the social and political chaos in his country, 1959

“Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.”

Marsha Norman

For K. and Cristian in Peru and anybody out there who might be having a few doubts about their huge dreams...
'Nunca dudes por un segundo que tus sueños son reales y maravillosas y que el fruto de tus sueños se beneficiarán a muchos, de manera que no podemos empezar a imaginar. ( Never doubt for a second that your dreams are real and wonderful and that the fruit of these dreams will help so many in ways we can't begin to imagine).

“Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger.”

Ben Okri
