When I vacate this sack of old bones I won’t care what you do with it. Bury or burn it but don’t make much fuss. Wilbur Smith Read Quote
Politicians all over the world cater to domestic vote banks. They will spend only on what their constituents want. So unless there is a grass root green movement in a nation the politicians will not be willing to spend money on curbing emissions. More awareness is needed amongst the people to effect the real change in how governments spend. Wilbur Smith Read Quote
Authors can only soft sell the environment. Create a wonderful story around the environment involving the characters that leaves a lasting impression on the reader’s mind. Wilbur Smith Read Quote
People don’t really know themselves until they’re 30. Like most people nowadays, I went to university, got a degree and wandered for a bit.

The first novel I wrote was a monster – clocking in at 180,000 words – but it died a death, a death it deserved. It was called ‘The Gods First Make Mad.’ It was a good title, but it was the only good thing about the book. I didn’t let that put me off. Wilbur Smith Read Quote
