Quote by Wole Soyinka
My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems

My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems, seeing a painting, listening to some music, some opera, which has nothing at all to do with a volatile human condition or struggle or whatever. It enriches me as a human being. – Wole Soyinka
