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.

More quotes by Storm Jameson
Critics have been amusing themselves for a long time by auscultating fiction for signs of heart failure.
Storm Jameson
Is it really beyond our wits to devise some form of censorship which would trap only the crudely sadistic?
Storm Jameson
Language is memory and metaphor.
Storm Jameson
A minor symptom of wars is the cancerous growth of committees.
Storm Jameson
A joke is a joke or the image of a truth.
Storm Jameson
invaders always destroy libraries.
Storm Jameson
Writing was a chimney for my blazing ambitions.
Storm Jameson
All writers who can claim to be called 'living' must be political in a sense. They must have what the Quakers call a concern to understand what is happening in the world, and must engage themselves, in their writing, to promote no comfortable lies, of the sort which people will pay well to be told rather than the truth.
Storm Jameson
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
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
Lord, if there is a heartache Vienna cannot cure I hope never to feel it. I came home cured of everything except Vienna.
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
Novelists who treat violence and cruelty as something to be exploited for their effect, or to enjoy the pleasure of an evacuation, are carriers of a singularly unpleasant disease.
Storm Jameson
Surprise will be my last emotion, not fear.
Storm Jameson
Sadistic literature is not only inhumane. It is anti-human.
Storm Jameson
Nothing lasts. Not even a great sorrow.
Storm Jameson
The young are so much more vulnerable than the old - the stuff is still warm and malleable, it takes impressions.
Storm Jameson
The strangest thing about life is not its frightful cruelty, but that it can be gentle.
Storm Jameson
A nation has honor precisely as it has fleas - on this or that body. The statesman who talks of honor - unless he means something else, quite different - is a rogue.
Storm Jameson
You can't argue with a raging want. You can, but it is useless.
Storm Jameson
