Theroux

Famous quotes containing the word theroux:

    Extensive traveling induces a feeling of encapsulation, and travel, so broadening at first, contracts the mind.

    It was strange: two personalities coming together can create a third, with each being different, yet together making up one they are surprised at separately.
    —Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

    Where there is no style, there is in effect no point of view. There is, essentially, no anger, no conviction, no self. Style is opinion, hung washing, the calibre of a bullet, teething beads.... One’s style holds one, thankfully, at bay from the enemies of it but not from the stupid crucifixions by those who must willfully misunderstand it.
    —Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
