Quotes by Conor Cruise O'Brien

“British diplomats, constantly exposed to American political-ethical rhetoric, find their professional skills tested to the limits by the need to keep a straight face. For illustrations of what I mean, study the photographs of the expressions worn by Mr Douglas Hurd at any international conference involving all the Western allies.”
― Conor Cruise O'Brien, On The Eve Of The Millennium
