Quote by Austin Clarke

"The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate 'apparently ordinary' people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people."

"Fiction allows us to slide into other skins and to have adventures that are not only imaginative but deeply empathetic."

"The Caribbean is not just a place; it's a state of mind."

"Identity is something you become, not something you are born with."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
