More From Ben Okri

All interpretations made by a scientist are hypotheses, and all hypotheses are tentative. they must forever be tested and they must be revised if found to be unsatisfactory. hence, a change of mind in a scientist, and particularly in a great scientist, is not only not a sign of weakness but rather evidence for continuing attention to the respective problem and an ability to test the hypothesis again and again.

A scientist sounds like a scientist because the things that come out of their mouth don't stumble, that's all. if they [said], "and the, um, a microwave, uh," you know, then you don't sound right, but if you can just get it out without stumbling then you're going to sound fine.

Some autistic people have savant skills. all autistic people do not have savant skills. autism is a very variable disorder varying all the way from einstein, emollient scientist, just a little bit of the trait, many scientist and engineers, down to somebody that's going to remain nonverbal.

Historically, girls have not been encouraged to be scientists, to be explorers, and there's a social kind of constraint, of course. having the responsibility, a disproportionate part of the responsibility, for caring for families, caring for children. i know this challenge from firsthand experience because i have three children and four grandsons.and some of the time i have spent as a scientist and as an explorer has meant choosing to not be with my children and grandchildren as much as i might otherwise have done had i not been a scientist, an explorer.

It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist for example vincent van gogh, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man. if he is more than a popular story-teller it may take humanity a generation to absorb and grow accustomed to the new geography with which the scientist or artist presents us. even then, perhaps only the more imaginative and literate may accept him. subconsciously the genius is feared as an image breaker; frequently he does not accept the opinions of the mass, or man's opinion of himself.

Once leprosy had gone, and the figure of the leper was no more than a distant memory, these structures still remained. the game of exclusion would be played again, often in these same places, in an oddly similar fashion two or three centuries later. the role of the leper was to be played by the poor and by the vagrant, by prisoners and by the 'alienated', and the sort of salvation at stake for both parties in this game of exclusion is the matter of this study.

Being politically active is "more about doing things, not just standing for some platform or being involved in some political party."

Being the youngest, i constantly have that insecurity of being the youngest, which ultimately is probably my drive. in a lot of ways. in terms of as an artist, the way we could communicate as a family very clearly was through movies and through acting, and when things became complicated with all of our own personalities, that's where we are most clear. i think that's also where we are most brutal with each other as well.
