Heather's Area
( Favourite Books and Quotes )

Favourite quote by Quentin:

"It's no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying 'I was meant to be a ballet dancer'. By that time pigs will be your style."

Favourite quote about Quentin comes, very fittingly, from John Hurt: John described Quentin

"as one of the truly great figures of the 20th century",

and added

"He was a true philosopher and the only philosopher who actually lived his own philosophy .... The soft light of his sunset enriched all our lives."

Favourite book by Quentin: "Manners from Heaven."

Favourite book about Quentin: "The Stately Homo" ed.Paul Bailey.
