For years, I meant to read 'Arabian Sands', Wilfred Thesiger's account of two punishing camel journeys during the late 1940s across Southern Arabia's Empty Quarter. Now that I have, I can sheepishly join the chorus of those who revere the book as one of the half dozen greatest works of modern English travel writing.
More quotes and aphorisms
'The Lorax' book was intended to be propaganda...My goal in my career is to inspire people...Rather than love, than money, than fame...Girls are socialised in ways that are harmful...The sun, with all those planets revolving around it...Your sacred space is where you can find yourself...
