His legacy
Quentin lived a very long life, during which he directly influenced many people, and indirectly through his books, stage shows and films influenced many, many more.
Although he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in so many ways, still influencing people for the good.
In this section I hope to show some of the ways in which his legacy survives.
