“
“Reading literature gives one a better understanding of
human nature and the complexity of the human condition. It
makes one less judgemental and more sympathetic.
Literature can also be more insightful than non-fiction.” –
Professor Tommy Koh
“The possibility of being as
free with the camera as we
are with the pen is a
fantastic prospect for the
creative life of 21st Century.”
– Carlos Fuentes
