Graham Greene
“He wasn't a patient. I expect someone cured him. You cure a lot of people in this country, don't you, with bullets?”
Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory

Aldous Huxley
“The rich never have a chance of being neighborly to their equals. The best they can do is feel mawkish about the sufferings of their inferiors, which they can never begin to understand, and to be patronizingly kind.”
Aldous Huxley, Point Counter Point

Aldous Huxley
“Everything that happens is intrinsically like the man it happens to.”
Aldous Huxley, Point Counter Point

Sinclair Lewis
“Not individuals but institutions are the enemies, and they most afflict the disciples who the most generously serve them. They insinuate their tyranny under a hundred guises and pompous names, such as Polite Society, the Family, the Church, Sound Business, the Party, the Country, the Superior White Race; and the only defense against them, Carol beheld, was unembittered laughter.”
Sinclair Lewis, Main Street

Graham Greene
“If God had been like a toad, you could have rid the globe of toads, but when God was like yourself, it was no good being content with stone figures — you had to kill yourself among the graves.”
Graham Greene, The Power and the Glory
