Vasily Grossman
“Your first minutes on the streets of an unfamiliar city are always special; what happens in later months or years can never supplant them. These minutes are filled with the visual equivalent of nuclear energy”
Vasily Grossman, An Armenian Sketchbook

Anatole France
“Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me.”
Anatole France

Diana Athill
“Looking at things is never time wasted. If your children want to stand and stare, let them. When I was marvelling at the beauty of a painting or enjoying a great view it did not occur to me that the experience, however intense, would be of value many years later. But there it has remained, tucked away in hidden bits of my mind and now it comes, shouldering aside even the most passionate love affairs.”
Diana Athill

“Look! Why want anything more marvellous than what is.”
Diana Athill, Alive, Alive Oh!: And Other Things That Matter
