Harry Rutledge Quotes & Sayings

I think somebody who is more self-reflective should ask why they personally aren't going on that path. If amateurism is so great, why didn't you stay one? You have to look at the larger economy, a backdrop of unemployment; it's shitty out there. — Astra Taylor

like George Macdonald's 19th century fairy stories, the fairy poetry of W.B. Yeats, and Sylvia Townsend Warner's splendid book The Kingdoms of Elfin.

I'm also a big Pre-Raphaelite fan, so I love William Morris' early fantasy novels.
