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

Storm Jameson

Storm Jameson

Storm Jameson
A joke is a joke or the image of a truth.
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
Surprise will be my last emotion, not fear.
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
invaders always destroy libraries.
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
