Quote by Jim Bishop (1907-1987)

• Archaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences. It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been.

• Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.

• A good writer is not necessarily a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.

• It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago.

• True love is night jasmine, a diamond in darkenss, the heartbeat no cardiologist has ever heard. It is the most common of miracles, fashioned of fleecy clouds, a handful of stars tossed into the night sky.
