More From Arthur Smith
- "The real change that paintings undergo is in the perceptions of the viewer."
- "Occasionally I find a travel book that is both illuminating and entertaining, where vivid writing and research replace self-indulgence and sloppy prose."
- "Travel books are, by and large, boring. They lodge uncomfortably between fact, fiction and autobiography."
More In Age
- "There are never enough I Love You’s."― Lenny Bruce
- "I’ll get pretty much everything the way I want it. I’ve always dreamed of a beach wedding."― Nicole Appleton
- "There are signs that the age of petroleum has passed its zenith. Adjusted for inflation, a barrel of crude oil now sells for three times its long-run average. The large western oil companies, which cartellised the industry for much of the 20th century, are now selling more oil than they find, and are thus in the throes of liquidation."― James Buchan
