# Quote — Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Devil on the Cross

> There is no difference between old and modern stories. Stories are stories. All stories are old. All stories are new. All stories belong to tomorrow. And stories are not about ogres or about animals or about men. All stories are about human beings."
