Storm Jameson quotes about
insomnia impossible moments
The impossible talked of is less impossible from the moment words are laid to it.
nerves matter cruelty
What I do not know and cannot even hope to understand before I die is why human beings are willfully, coldly, matter-of-factly cruel to each other ... What nerve has atrophied in the torturer, or worse is sensually moved?
gestures next generations
The gesture with which one generation guards the next is the movement, and the only time we see it clearly, of life itself.
speak-the-truth draws exhilarating
Speaking the truth, once you have started it, is too exhilarating to draw back.
rotten literature language
Not literature alone, but society itself is wormed and rotten when language ceases to be respected not merely by advertisers and politicians, but by persons of learning and authority.
