“The idea is: You played to 100 people this week in Europe, and then next week you can play to 200. It's an investment in that territory. But it can lose money because it's very expensive to go to Europe. You can't really just say, like, "Oh, we're gonna take our van and drive to California tomorrow." It's more like, "Oh, we have to fly to London and rent three guitar amps, a bass amp, drums; buy all these flights for four people; hire a driver."” PeopleIdeasPlayThreeNextLosesFourWeekTomorrowEuropeInvestmentGuitarLondonFlightCaliforniaExpensiveDriversTerritoryVansBassNext Week Author:Zachary Cole Smith

I shan't do anything about it now, I'll get it back later." I shall go after I am here to London and after that to Potsdam, where Comrade Stalin, Mr Churchill and Harry Truman divided up Europe; and what we see now is the result of that.

“Going to Europe, someone had written, was about as final as going to heaven. A mystical passage to another life, from which no-one returned the same. Those returning in such ships were invincible, for they had managed it and could reflect ever after on Anne Hathaway's Cottage or the Tower of London with a confidence that did generate at Sydney. There was nothing mythic at Sydney; momentous objects, beings and events all occurred abroad or in the elsewhere of books.” BookWisdomHeavenWrittenEventsObjectsEuropeFinalsLondonShipsPassagesElsewhereTowersMysticalInvincibleEver AfterSydneyCottagesAnother LifeGoing To Heaven Author:Shirley Hazzard
