My mind is not suited to go much into company.
Storm Jameson
You can't argue with a raging want. You can, but it is useless.
Storm Jameson
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
If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.
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
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
Surprise will be my last emotion, not fear.
Storm Jameson
Could anything be absurder than a man? The animal who knows everything about himself--except why he was born and the meaning of his unique existence.
Storm Jameson
Language is memory and metaphor.
Storm Jameson
The impossible talked of is less impossible from the moment words are laid to it.
Storm Jameson
Nothing lasts. Not even a great sorrow.
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
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
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
Is it really beyond our wits to devise some form of censorship which would trap only the crudely sadistic?
Storm Jameson
Great advertising is the expression of deep emotional sincerity.
Storm Jameson
A minor symptom of wars is the cancerous growth of committees.
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
A politician is forced to make a habit of noble phrases and optimistic lies. In the end they infect himself.
