"There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations."

"It's a well known thing that ordinary perceptions can have a strange aspect when one is travelling."

"I was excited by what my painter friends were doing, and they seemed to be interested in our poetry too, and that was a wonderful little, fizzy sort of world."
