More quotes by Storm Jameson

Storm Jameson

Storm Jameson
I do not think about absent persons as often or with such intense longing as I think of places. They lie one below the other in my mind.
Storm Jameson
Is it really beyond our wits to devise some form of censorship which would trap only the crudely sadistic?
Storm Jameson
Great advertising is the expression of deep emotional sincerity.
Storm Jameson
invaders always destroy libraries.
Storm Jameson
... the truth is exactly that which can't be got into words. We are forced to lie, a little or, if we are inferior, much.
Storm Jameson
