Quotes

8. You hate the political buisness of nationality. You hate everything, in politics and art and everything else, that is not genuine and deep and necessary. You don't have time for silly trivial things. You live seriously. You don't go to silly films, even if you want to; you don't read cheap newspapers; you don't listen to trash on the wireless and the telly; you don't waste time talking about nothing. You use your life. John Fowles
John Fowles quote: "I read and I read; and I was like a medieval king, I had..."

And I just can't live in this present. I would go mad if I did John Fowles
