Quotes by Jane Fletcher Geniesse (?)

“To feel, and think, and learn—learn always: surely that is being alive and young in the real sense. And most people seem to want to stagnate when they reach middle age. I hope I shall not become so, resenting ideas that are not my ideas, and seeing the world with all its changes and growth as a series of congealed formulas.”
― Jane Fletcher Geniesse, Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark (Modern Library

“Some day I must make a list of the reasons for which I have been thought mad and by whom: it would make such an amusing medley.”
