BEST MOMENTS

‘Out of curiosity I asked him whose ideas resonated most with him, who his rock start philosopher would be. His answer absolutely floored me. “I’ve never read anything about philosophy.”’ 

‘Let’s say you read a book a week plus another one a week when you’re on holiday. So you go on holiday for a fortnight so that’s two extra, 54 books a year. If you read 54 books on anything you’re going to be pretty clued up about it.’

‘Show me your library and I’ll show you your future.’
