02UndatedAnd yet, in terms of its emotive potential, I still find art more attractive, currently, than books, which fail at a deeper level.Andrew Miller / quote ↗
04UndatedI regret, most of all, my shrivelled heart. So focused on the numbers. On the maths of my personal equation. Can a man change his heart? Are there ways to improve the spirit of who you are? Of why you choose?Andrew Miller / quote ↗

07UndatedWe are, after all, human. There is something wild in those opposable thumbs.Andrew Miller / quote ↗
08UndatedThe visit, like all visits home for a long time now, has been an obscure failure. When is it we cease to be able to go back, truly go back? What secret door is it that closes?Andrew Miller / quote ↗
