Deborah's favorite quotes

"I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't think even my country means all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?"
— Graham Greene (Our Man in Havana: An Entertainment (Twentieth Century Classics))
