More quotes by Storm Jameson
The critic's hankering to be law-giver rather than servant of literature is irrepressible.
Storm Jameson
One of the uncovenanted benefits of living for a long time is that, having so many more dead than living friends, death can appear as a step backwards into the joyous past.
Storm Jameson
Surprise will be my last emotion, not fear.
Storm Jameson
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
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
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
Language is memory and metaphor.
Storm Jameson
Is it really beyond our wits to devise some form of censorship which would trap only the crudely sadistic?
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
Critics have been amusing themselves for a long time by auscultating fiction for signs of heart failure.
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 strangest thing about life is not its frightful cruelty, but that it can be gentle.
Storm Jameson
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
Sadistic literature is not only inhumane. It is anti-human.
Storm Jameson
Writing was a chimney for my blazing ambitions.
Storm Jameson
invaders always destroy libraries.
Storm Jameson
A joke is a joke or the image of a truth.
Storm Jameson
The impossible talked of is less impossible from the moment words are laid to it.
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
If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.
