"The only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable miracle, which is exactly what it is: a miracle and unrepeatable." -- Storm Jameson
Margaret Storm Jameson (8 January 1891 – 30 September 1986) was an English writer, known for her 45 novels, and criticism.
She was born in Whitby, Yorkshire, and studied at the University of Leeds. She moved to London, where she earned an MA from King's College London in 1914 and then went on to teach before becoming a full-time writer. She married the writer Guy Chapman, but continued to publish as Storm Jameson.
She was a prominent president of the British branch of the International PEN association, from 1939, and active in helping refugee writers. Storm Jameson wrote three volumes of autobiography; a biography by Jennifer Birkett, Professor of French Studies at Birmingham University, was published by the Oxford University Press in March 2009.
"For what I have received may the Lord make me truly thankful. And more truly for what I have not received.""Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.""Hope is a talent like any other.""Language is memory and metaphor.""The impossible talked of is less impossible from the moment words are laid to it.""Think of all the really successful men and women you know. Do you know a single one who didn't learn very young the trick of calling attention to himself in the right quarters?"
