Cullum Quotes

“This was my part of the land, and the sense of possession was strong in me; not in the sense of owning but of being owned; I belonged to it. Every particle of Surrey's varied soil - chalk, clay, sand, and the light brown loam - had a claim on something in me.”
― E. Arnot Robertson, Cullum

“He talked on lovingly, about his books, as I had never heard anyone talk before. The instant sense of companionship it gave me was like the warmth of a fire to someone grown accustomed to the lack of it, who is hardly conscious of the cold until it is over; I realized then how much I had been longing for a friend of this kind.

Here at last, walking by my side, was someone else who cared for books, and realized the excellence of being alive. It was wonderful. He was the first real comrade I had found.”
― E. Arnot Robertson, Cullum
