Prospero's Cell QUOTES

1 " Other countries may offer you discoveries in manners or lore or landscape; Greece offers you something harder—the discovery of yourself. "

― Lawrence Durrell , Prospero's Cell

2 " Grapes from this mountain region yield a wine that bubbles ever so slightly; an undertone of sulphur and rock. Ask for red wine at Lakones and they will bring you a glass of volcano's blood. "

― Lawrence Durrell , Prospero's Cell

3 " In every age, from every angle, we are facing the same set of natural phenomena, moonlight, death, religion, laughter, fear. We make idolatrous attempts to enclose them in a conceptual frame. And all the time they change under our very noses. "

― Lawrence Durrell , Prospero's Cell

4 " Never to imagine that any of these generalizations we make about gods or men is valid, but to cherish them because they carry in them the fallibility of our own minds. "

― Lawrence Durrell , Prospero's Cell
