I always knew I would come to London. I loved Glasgow, but it seemed filled with echoes of my parents' lives, and sometimes you just want a city of your own.

Interviewing is not a democratic art.

Andrew O'hagan Novelist

We do not read to pass the time, but to inhabit time.

Andrew O'hagan Novelist

'Reality' is a notion that journalists take for granted.

Andrew O'hagan Novelist

As a writer I care about America, and care about its carelessness.

Andrew O'hagan Novelist

Your heart, my friend, is the size of a stadium. If you try to fill it with small things - a new car, a vacation, a promotion at work, a bigger home, a stock portfolio - a mournful echo will fill your life. But if you fill your stadium with all of humanity and search for ways to make their lives better each day, you will find yourself in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing in the right way.

Roy H. Williams Author

I think she is going to find you too old... Yes that was it, the moment she said it I knew it was true, and the revelation caused me no surprise, it was like the echo of a dull, not unexpected shock. The age difference was the last taboo, the final limit, all the stronger for the fact that it remained the last and had replaced all the others. In the modern world you could be a swinger, bi, trans, zoo into S&M, but it was forbidden to be old.

Michel Houellebecq Author

It seems to be the special peculiarity of human beings that they reflect: they think about thinking and know that they know. This, like other feedback systems, may lead to vicious circles and confusions if improperly managed, but self-awareness makes human experience resonant. It imparts that simultaneous "echo" to all that we think and feel as the box of a violin reverberates with the sound of the strings. It gives depth and volume to what would otherwise be shallow and flat.

Alan Watts Philosopher

applause, n. The echo of a platitude.

Ambrose Bierce Journalist

Fame is that which is known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds.

Anna Brownell Jameson Writer

Vaccines are extremely well tested; their safety is well understood. The false allegations about vaccines causing autism have been disproven. But there are still echoes out there confusing people.

Bill Gates Investor
