More quotes by Storm Jameson
Language is memory and metaphor.
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
Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present.
Storm Jameson
A politician is forced to make a habit of noble phrases and optimistic lies. In the end they infect himself.
Storm Jameson
You can't argue with a raging want. You can, but it is useless.
Storm Jameson
I am never happier than when I am alone in a foreign city it is as if I had become invisible.
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
The impossible talked of is less impossible from the moment words are laid to it.
Storm Jameson
Surprise will be my last emotion, not fear.

Storm Jameson
If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.
Storm Jameson
The young are so much more vulnerable than the old - the stuff is still warm and malleable, it takes impressions.
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
Nothing lasts. Not even a great sorrow.
Storm Jameson
The strangest thing about life is not its frightful cruelty, but that it can be gentle.
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
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
A joke is a joke or the image of a truth.
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.
