Graham Greene
“I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes, a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. If they think you admire them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire.”
Graham Greene, The End of the Affair
tags: men

James Joyce
“Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.”
James Joyce, Ulysses

Stella Gibbons
“One of the disadvantages of almost universal education was the fact that all kinds of persons acquired a familiarity with one's favorite writers. It gave one a curious feeling; it was like seeing a drunken stranger wrapped in one's dressing gown.”
Stella Gibbons, Cold Comfort Farm

Graham Greene
“I couldn't have thought of her more. Even vacancy was crowded with her.”
Graham Greene, The End of the Affair

Edgar Lee Masters
“To this generation I would say:
Memorize some bit of verse of truth or beauty.”
Edgar Lee Masters, Spoon River Anthology
