Village Christmas and Other Notes on the English Year QUOTES

1 " But spring in England is like a prolonged adolescence, stumbling, sweet and slow, a thing of infinitesimal shades, false starts, expectations, deferred hopes, and final showers of glory. "

2 " Not everyone requires, nor seeks, the stimulus of the recurring image. They are content to be without directions. But for those of us who are branded by this particular mark, at least we know where we're going.

― Laurie Lee , Village Christmas and Other Notes on the English Year

3 " My theory is that a strong healthy man isn't likely to be creative. It is illness and pain that encourages him to live another life. "
