More From Arthur Smith
- "Travel books are, by and large, boring. They lodge uncomfortably between fact, fiction and autobiography."
- "The Romantic poets were the prototype ramblers, and I’ve often found myself following in their footsteps – although perhaps not all of their footsteps since a typical walk for Samuel T. Coleridge might last two days and cover 145km."
- "Reading the play at home, however fulfilling, can never be the vivacious experience that Shakespeare intended."
More In Age
- "But at the age of 44, I sure hope to be a better businesswoman. I want to get the music straight to my fans."― Paula Cole
- "Do you remember when you were 10 or 11 years old and you really thought your folks were the best? They were completely omniscient and you took their word for everything. And then you got older and you went through this hideous age when suddenly they were the devil, they were bullies, and they didn’t know anything."― Chuck Palahniuk
- "The passions grafted on wounded pride are the most inveterate; they are green and vigorous in old age."― George Santayana
