Peter York quotes about
foundation peter
There's no Peter York Foundation, and you're no one without one.
mistake pleasure source
One should never learn from one's mistakes. Making the same mistakes, over and over again, is a source of unremitting pleasure.
nice block writing
It's just as well that I write in the same facile way wherever I am - no blocks or anguish, no contemplation, no elaborate revision, no need for love-tokens or nice views.
clueless should-have sky
Nobody knows anything. I deal with people in all walks of life, some of whom should have some idea of what they're doing. And they're all clueless. It's astonishing that any bridges stay up, or that planes don't constantly plummet from the sky. It's heartening, in a strange way.
architecture chandeliers jewellery
Chandeliers are marvels of drop-dead showiness, the jewellery of architecture.
nice pride smell
Have you got a Beemer, an Audi, a Saab or a Volvo that replaced a Ford, Vauxhall, Rover or Nissan? Many Brits have. Your first Beemer. A particularly nice smell of leather. Something rather plain but satisfactory about the interior. And that lovely enamel wotsit in the middle of the steering wheel. A moment of quiet 'because I'm worth it' pride.
