Notes and Quotes
It is 25 years since Jolyon Connell founded The Week. This is a short miscellany to mark the occasion, a collection of his favourite quotations, interspersed with a few longer extracts, the odd anecdote and the occasional piece of poetry. Many of the quotation that appear here once appeared in The Weeks: others Jolyon has collected over the years.
