More quotes by Storm Jameson
There is only one world the world pressing against you at this minute. There is only one minute in which you are alive this minute here and now. The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.
Storm Jameson

Storm Jameson
No form of art repeats or imitates successfully all that can be said by another the writer conveys his experience of life along a channel of communication closed to painter, mathematician, musician, film-maker.
Storm Jameson
Language is one of the thin walls humanity has built up over centuries against its own bestial and destructive impulses.
Storm Jameson
The young are so much more vulnerable than the old - the stuff is still warm and malleable, it takes impressions.
Storm Jameson
Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present.
Storm Jameson
A joke is a joke or the image of a truth.
Storm Jameson
To reject censorship after studying the risks involved is very well. To reject it ex cathedra, in the tones of Calvin pronouncing a dogma, eyes and mind closed to the possible consequences, the even marginally possible, is to make things too comfortable for oneself.
