Favorite Freya Stark Quotes

1. "The beckoning counts, not the clicking latch behind you" ~ Freya Stark
2. "What a strange revelation of self-esteem it is when people only love those who think and feel as they do - an extension of themselves, in fact! Even Christianity does not cure us, since one cannot feel right without assuming that the rest must be wrong. Personally I would rather feel wrong with everybody else than right all by myself: I like people different, and agree with the man who said that the worst of the human race is the number of duplicates." ~ Freya Stark
3. "To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the most pleasant sensations in the world. You are surrounded by adventure." ~ Freya Stark
4. "One life is an absurdly small allowance." ~ Freya Stark
5. "Solitude, I reflected, is the one deep necessity of the human spirit to which adequate recognition is never given in our codes. It is looked upon as a discipline or penance, but hardly ever as the indispensable, pleasant ingredient it is to ordinary life, and from this want of recognition come half our domestic troubles." ~ Freya Stark
6. "Love of learning is a pleasant and universal bond since it deals with what one is and not what one has." ~ Freya Stark
7. "I do like people who have not yet made up their minds about everything, who in fact are still receiving" ~ Freya Stark
8. "If one were given a single window from which to look upon the changing Eastern world, it should face, I think, the road." ~ Freya Stark
9. "Few are the giants of the soul who actually feel that the human race is their family circle." ~ Freya Stark
10. "The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always pretend to be more stupid than one is and no one is surprised." ~ Freya Stark
11. "There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do." ~ Freya Stark
12. "Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other." ~ Freya Stark
13. "Pain and fear and hunger are effects of causes which can be foreseen and known: but sorrow is a debt which someone else makes for us." ~ Freya Stark
14. "Curiosity is the one thing invincible in Nature." ~ Freya Stark
15. "The symbol is greater than visible substance. . . . Unhappy the land that has no symbols, or that chooses their meaning without great care." ~ Freya Stark
16. "To feel, and think, and learn - learn always: surely that is being alive and young in the real sense" ~ Freya Stark
17. "Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of everyday, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art." ~ Freya Stark
