More quotes by Storm Jameson

Storm Jameson

Storm Jameson
Critics have been amusing themselves for a long time by auscultating fiction for signs of heart failure.
Storm Jameson
A joke is a joke or the image of a truth.
Storm Jameson
A politician is forced to make a habit of noble phrases and optimistic lies. In the end they infect himself.
Storm Jameson
Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present.
Storm Jameson
I am never happier than when I am alone in a foreign city it is as if I had become invisible.
