More quotes by Lawrence Durrell
All culture corrupts, but French culture corrupts absolutely.
Lawrence Durrell
The heaviest impact of the work of art is in the guts. Art does not reason. It manhandles you and changes you.
Lawrence Durrell
Truth is a woman. That is why it is enigmatic.
Lawrence Durrell

Lawrence Durrell
To be the equal of reality you must learn how to ignore it without danger.
Lawrence Durrell

Lawrence Durrell
Art like life is an open secret.
Lawrence Durrell

Lawrence Durrell
Guilt always hurries towards its complement, punishment: only there does its satisfaction lie.
Lawrence Durrell
I suppose the secret of his success is in his tremendous idleness which almost approaches the supernatural.
Lawrence Durrell
The cocktail party - as the name itself indicates - was originally invented by dogs. They are simply bottom-sniffings raised to the rank of formal ceremonies.
Lawrence Durrell
They flower spontaneously out of the demands of our natures - and the best of them lead us not only outward in space, but inward as well.
Lawrence Durrell
Everything really desirable has come about because of, or in spite of, wine!
Lawrence Durrell
It only takes one match to ignite a haystack, or one remark to fire a mind.
Lawrence Durrell
Truth disappears with the telling of it.
Lawrence Durrell
Love is like trench warfare - you cannot see the enemy, but you know he is there and that it is wiser to keep your head down.
Lawrence Durrell
Poverty is a great cutter-off and riches a great shutter-off.
