Lawrence Durrell

“The richest love is that which submits to the arbitration of time.”

“Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.”

“I imagine, therefore I belong and am free.”

“For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential - the imagination.”

“History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.”

“It is not love that is blind, but jealousy.”
