Storm Jameson
Image
Is it really beyond our wits to devise some form of censorship which would trap only the crudely sadistic?
Storm Jameson
Image
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson
Image
Lord, if there is a heartache Vienna cannot cure I hope never to feel it. I came home cured of everything except Vienna.

Language is memory and metaphor.
Storm Jameson
Image
As often as not our whole self...engages itself in the most trivial of things, the shape of a particular hill, a road in the town in which we lived as children, the movement of wind in grass. The things we shall take with us when we die will nearly all be small things.
