Storm Jameson
Image
The young are so much more vulnerable than the old - the stuff is still warm and malleable, it takes impressions.

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.

Storm Jameson
Image
If you think with enough energy about a hoped-for event, it will in the end happen. Not because you willed it. Because it was all the time in your nature.
Storm Jameson
Image
Sadistic literature is not only inhumane. It is anti-human.
Storm Jameson
Image
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
Image
The strangest thing about life is not its frightful cruelty, but that it can be gentle.
Storm Jameson
Image
Pornography is essentially reductive, an exercise in the nothing-but mode, a depersonalizing of the human beings involved, a showing-up of human lust as nothing but an affair of the genitals.
Storm Jameson
Image
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
Image
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
