“Sometimes we have to do a thing in order to find out the reason for it. Sometimes our actions are questions, not answers.”
John le Carré, A Perfect Spy

George Eliot
“That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency, has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind; and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. As it is, the quickest of us walk about well wadded with stupidity.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

“There are moments which are made up of too much stuff for them to be lived at the time they occur.”
John le Carré, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Joseph Conrad
“Do you know how I would call the nature of the present economic conditions? I would call it cannibalistic. That's what it is! They are nourishing their greed on the quivering flesh and the warm blood of the people - nothing else.”
Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent

Joseph Conrad
“And yet I have known the sea too long to believe in its respect for decency. An elemental force is ruthlessly frank”
Joseph Conrad, Falk
