I smiled at the farm labourer, and he smiled back and said: ‘Mornin’ sir.’ I felt suddenly very happy.”
― Colin Wilson, The Philosopher's Stone

“I never write purely for the fun of it. I write as a mathematician uses a sheet of paper for doing calculations: because I think better that way”
― Colin Wilson, The Philosopher's Stone
