Quotes by Victoria Whitworth (?)

“Why resist the Iona hypthesis? In part to play devil's advocate, but mostly because the wit, verve and apparent sponteneity - the daredevil quality of the Book of Kells is not in evidence in Iona. It is, however, abundantly present in Pictish sculpture, and thanks to new research we now know that Pictland has a monastic site that once rivalled Iona.”
― Victoria Whitworth, The Book of Kells: Unlocking the Enigma

“We who lack faith and long for it are the children out in the snow, noses pressed to the sweet-shop window”
