More quotes by Storm Jameson
Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
Storm Jameson
Language is memory and metaphor.
Storm Jameson
My mind is not suited to go much into company.
Storm Jameson
The hunger of the spirit for eternity - as fierce as a starving man's for bread - is much less a craving to go on living than a craving for redemption. Oh, and a protest against absurdity.
Storm Jameson
A joke is a joke or the image of a truth.
Storm Jameson
Fear is the deep motive of abstract art - fear of a repellent civilization which is dominated by the power of things. ... who can be surprised if, more sensitive than the others, the artist is terrified by the power things have acquired over us?
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
Writing was a chimney for my blazing ambitions.
Storm Jameson
The young are so much more vulnerable than the old - the stuff is still warm and malleable, it takes impressions.
Storm Jameson
You can't argue with a raging want. You can, but it is useless.
Storm Jameson
Nationalism will keep its venom until we succeed in creating an image of the nations of the whole world as so many provinces.
Storm Jameson
invaders always destroy libraries.
Storm Jameson
Great advertising is the expression of deep emotional sincerity.
Storm Jameson
The past is able to close round certain moments, as if they were seeds, and deliver them again fresh and living in the present.
Storm Jameson
To reject censorship after studying the risks involved is very well. To reject it ex cathedra, in the tones of Calvin pronouncing a dogma, eyes and mind closed to the possible consequences, the even marginally possible, is to make things too comfortable for oneself.
Storm Jameson
Surprise will be my last emotion, not fear.
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
Critics have been amusing themselves for a long time by auscultating fiction for signs of heart failure.
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
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.
